Southern Illinois University will again recognize a religious group whose student organization status had been revoked because its members must pledge to adhere to Christian beliefs.
Tuesday's announcement came 10 months after the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted an injunction re-establishing the Christian Legal Society's status while its lawsuit against the university proceeded.
As part of the settlement, the university said it will officially recognize the group and its membership and leadership policies. Southern Illinois also will establish a $10,000 scholarship fund that the society will administer.
"Every student group has the right to ensure that its leaders and members support its mission; religious student groups should be treated no differently," said Casey Mattox, litigation counsel for the society's Center for Law and Religious Freedom.
