The University of South Carolina will grant religious student organizations access to funding available to other student groups, following legal action by the Alliance Defense Fund and the Christian Legal Society (CLS).
“The courts have determined for well over a decade that the exclusion of religious student organizations from student activity fee funding violates the First Amendment,” said Isaac Fong, an attorney with CLS.
“They realized the problem and requested that we work with them to ensure policy changes that treat religious and non-religious student groups equally.”
