Christian group loses official status on college campuses
c. 2014 Religion News Service
(RNS) A well-established international Christian student group is being denied recognition at almost two dozen California college campuses because it requires leaders to adhere to its set of beliefs.
California State University, which has 23 campuses, is “de-recognizing” local chapters of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, which has 860 chapters in the United States. The university system says InterVarsity’s leadership policy conflicts with its state-mandated nondiscrimination policy requiring membership and leadership in all official student groups be open to all.
