SALT LAKE CITY (RNS) Brigham Young University’s law school accreditation has come under examination by the American Bar Association on a complaint that the school violated nondiscrimination policies, the director of a group of dissident students said.

Without ABA accreditation, students at the J. Reuben Clark School of Law would be ineligible for federal student aid and would not be able to apply for admission to state and local bar associations. The law school, like the university, is affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
