Sounds like someone was really, really desperate for something to whine about. All this supposedly “discriminatory” policy means is that, in order to receive school funding, a student group can’t have official rules barring students from leadership positions based their religious affiliation. The school has virtually no control over what happens in practice. My guess is the members of the Catholic group are going to keep electing leaders who are strong Catholics even if their constitution doesn’t say “non-Catholics need not apply.” If a fervently anti-Catholic Hindu or atheist wins the vote, the group members have a problem amongst themselves, not with the school’s policy.

If you take the man's money, you live by the man's rules. Very simple. If they can show that other religious (or decidedly anti-religious) groups are allowed to remain on campus, they have grounds for a suit. Otherwise, no.

BS! Vandy is the most pro-homo, anti-religious University in the SEC. The decent citizens of TN can’t stand the liberal stench eminating from this place. These students were 100% correct!
