I read about this story last week, and I did read this newer Slimes article carefully. The investigation isn't about one student - it's about the policy, and if the policy is, on its face, discriminatory, then actual harm isn't even an element of proof.

There are two matters going on at once: the Justice Department investigation and this student's threat of a lawsuit. They're two different things. The first is whether the professor's refusal to write letters of recommendation for believers in creationism for a class on evolution, a practice which is voluntary for professors and for which the university has no policy, is discriminatory. The second is if this student has been discrimated against by sitting in on two classes and looking at a website and will most assuredly be filing a lawsuit against the professor and the university.
