Student Religious Organizations and University Policies against Discrimination on the Basis of Sexual Orientation: Implications of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Bainbridge, Stephen M.

Journal of College and University Law, v21 n2 p369-404 Fall 1994

Using a recent incident at the University of Illinois as a case study, this article demonstrates that requiring student religious organizations to comply with state university policies against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation violates the free exercise rights of the groups' members as those rights are codified in the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993.
