Yeshiva University suspended all student club activities this week after the U.S. Supreme Court denied its request to overturn a lower court ruling requiring the New York college to recognize an LGBTQ student group.
Driving the news: An attorney for the student group, the YU Pride Alliance, called the university’s response to the ruling “shameful,” while Yeshiva’s president said the school’s legal fight is not over.
The other side: Yeshiva University President Rabbi Ari Berman said in a statement that the school would continue its legal battle.
- “Every faith-based university in the country has the right to work with its students, including its LGBTQ students, to establish the clubs, places and spaces that fit within its faith tradition,” Berman said. “Yeshiva University simply seeks that same right of self-determination.”
