I believe that you just described a hate crime/s
Time for all the college white kids to apply for membership in their local black student union.
Any homosexuals that would want to join would be doing so to disrupt. Obviously.
“Any homosexuals that would want to join would be doing so to disrupt. Obviously.”
There is at least one homosexual (To my knowledge)that attends my church. She is not disruptive but is not allowed in any leadership role however neither is she condemned. She is prayed over and prayed for regularly and accepts all the prayer with grace.
I like to think that if there were any adulterers in my church that they would be treated similarly.
That would put a well-deserved end to radical student organizations that only survive by the generosity of generally apolitical students who think activity fees will all be used for their benefit. e.g., to sponsor concerts and such. Little do they know . . .
Number One on my list of organizations that need to be purged from all student funding: PIRGs.
Hey, that even rhymes: PURGE the PIRGS.
Maybe we Christians should start joining gay groups and interject the bible every other sentence?
I don't know if you can "opt out" of Student Activity Fees, whether or not you participate in one of those chartered student group.
Anybody know?
My experience with similar funds years and years ago is that there's a student governing board that makes recommendations to the "faculty advisor" who authorizes disbursement. Since this was a very corruptible situation the campus dormitory systems had managed to exempt themselves from the situation years before ~ with, it turns out, special legislation provided by the state legislature.
There's no reason the State of California could not now EXEMPT students from any obligation to participate in the "the student activities fund" through payments of fees for that purpose ~ provided they don't belong/participate to/with any of the groups receiving funding.
In fact, there's probably already a law on the books somewhere just waiting to be found that in fact exempts non-participants from the obligation to pay the designated fees.

Pinging both lists to a SCOTUS decision today. If atheist and/or homosexuals, Muslims, etc can join a Christian group that "receives funding" because it uses a university classroom to meet, than any group will have to accept members who are in opposition to the club or group's beliefs and mission statements.
IMO a very bad ruling, but a natural result of the war against God and morality. Another expample of why fedgov spending needs to be cut at least 50%, with most agencies, bureaus, and departments not just trimmed but chipper shredded and put on the compost pile.
PS - note The Reader David's comment, too.
OK, now I understand tsomer's point. That makes sense.
As for opting out, it probably depends entirely on the university. I have three in college now, and I looked at their latest registrations. They are described in varying ways - student fees, student union dues, etc - but they all seem pretty mandatory.
If you truly believe in freedom of association, unrestrained by arbitrary rules dictated by college administrators in their futile attempts to interpret bad law, you would, I'm sure, prefer to exclude those who might disrupt an organization's reason for being.
If a Christian group wanted to exclude Muslims, for example, don't you think they should have that right?
Independence from mandatory student fees should be the goal, not trying to turn a group in a different direction.
If someone is a sinner (the one who isn’t, raise your hand!!) but sincere and wants to change - well, that is exactly who religion is for!
But it goes without saying that any homosexuals (okay, maybe 99%) in a university, who would want to join a Christian group, would be doing so to cause disruption and promote the “gay” agenda.
One of the reasons "Animal House" was so entertaining to so many is that it demonstrated the absolute and total corruption of traditional university governance systems.
Well, of course I agree with that, but you and I know the only ones who are going to end up with no protection under the law are Christians, but so be it, we knew it was coming.

I cannot argue with that at all, so I won’t.

Bad sign for the Boy Scouts.
Exactly....and you can bet the Islamic groups will easily find private funding.
Rather than reflexively post falsehoods you need to think through what you are posting. This was a case involving SPECIFIC circumstances. The ruling has NO impact on your right of free association merely free associations bellying up to public funding.
You don’t really believe homos should be denied access to groups funded with THEIR tax/tuition money do you?
You can freely associate with the most anti-homo group around as long as you don’t take public funds.
