Feb 5, 2020 / 12:40 am (CNA).- A California state university has this week agreed to revise its policies and pay more than $240,000 in fees after a federal court last summer found that the university had discriminated against a student pro-life group and had used mandatory student fees to fund only university-favored views.
In 2017, legal group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed a lawsuit on behalf of the pro-life student group Students for Life, after California State University–San Marcos denied the group access to funding paid for by mandatory student fees that should have been available to all student groups.
According to ADF, CSU-San Marcos has more than 100 student groups but has been discriminatory in distributing funding to those groups. In the 2016-2017 academic year, the university gave the Gender Equity Center and the LGBQTA Pride Center a combined total of $296,498, or 57 times what the other student groups were granted, which was less than $6,000.
The issue came to light in the 2016-207 school year when Students for Life was denied $500 to fund a visiting pro-life speaker, University of North Carolina–Wilmington Professor Mike Adams, who was to give a talk on “Abortion and Human Equality.” The group members had paid the same mandatory student activity fees required of all students.
Students for Life of America is the largest pro-life student group in the U.S., with more than 1,225 student groups on high school and college campuses throughout the country.

Nope. Not tired of winning yet.
If only there were a way to get colleges to stop all their damned racist and sexist and religious ( and political) discrimination! Especially tax subsidized schools. It’s just terrible. !!!
Otherwise they will keep pushing and pushing, and that becomes the norm.
Good job, Alliance Defence Fund!
Cal State San Marcos is a horrible school. I know because one of my children chose to drop out of it.
Compared to other Cal State schools?
There are ten UC’s, 27 Cal State and 110 Cal Community Colleges where 8% of the faculty are Trump supporters. 92% of the Calif. colleges are homes for misfit toys, freaks of nature, self-esteem boosters for really dumb people and children suffering from divorced parents. In other words, a person who is smart, Christian and has happily married parents will not feel welcome at Calif. colleges.
