The Washington Times has picked up the current scandal at Rutgers. Rutgers is getting itself sued for failing to understand the Constitutional concepts of religious liberty, freedom of speech, and freedom of association. Administrators there have defunded the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship because the group stipulates that its leaders must be Christian; their argument is that this puts the group in violation of Rutgers' nondiscrimination policy. FIRE filed the suit, and that alone should make Rutgers take notice. FIRE does not lose, and FIRE has fought and won this battle before--at Tufts, and, most recently, at UNC Chapel Hill. Last fall, FIRE also won a similar case at the law school at Washington University at St. Louis. Looks like there are some people at Rutgers who did not do their homework--and it's not the students.

UPDATE: The Washington Times had its facts wrong. FIRE did not file the suit--though it has been actively involved in the case. The suit was brought by the Alliance Defense Fund.
