: First Amendment CenterHigh court won't review ruling on student group funding
By By The Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. ? The U.S. Supreme Court says it won?t hear an appeal of a lower court decision to grant a Catholic student group funding from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The decision by the high court effectively ends UW-Madison?s appeal process. The university has argued that its funding of Badger Catholic?s religious activities is a violation of the First Amendment.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed in a 2-1 decision last September. The court ruled UW-Madison?s refusal to fund the group?s religious worship activities or materials constituted viewpoint discrimination by the university.
UW-Madison settled another lawsuit from the group in 2007 after refusing to pay for any of the group?s activities.
