University to let Christian student group elect only Christian leaders: settlement

A conservative law firm has declared victory after a Texas university agreed that a Christian student organization could require leaders to hold specific religious beliefs.

The Alliance Defending Freedom released a statement on Tuesday announcing it was voluntarily dismissing a lawsuit against the University of Houston-Clear Lake that the organization had filed on behalf of Ratio Christi.

According to ADF, the university agreed as part of a settlement to enact a policy confirming that registered student organizations could limit their leaders to those who shared their beliefs.

ADF Legal Counsel Caleb Dalton said in the statement that he commended the university for “taking swift action to ensure Ratio Christi is given equal opportunity among its peer groups.”..(Excerpt from the Christian Post)
