Pro-life student group sues NYC college  

NEW YORK — After being sued in late January a New York college has changed its mind on whether to officially recognize a pro-life student organization.

The office of student affairs at Queens College of The City University of New York system released a statement Jan. 27 saying it had reversed the earlier decision of a student committee to deny the approval of an on-campus group called Queens College Students for Life.

Casey Mattox, senior counsel of the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which filed the suit on behalf of the group, said the situation was “particularly troubling because Queens College bills itself as ‘the most diverse campus in America’” but had excluded this pro-life group.

Despite the reversal, Mattox said Jan. 30 that ADF does not intend to drop the suit. “The college still needs to change its egregiously unconstitutional policies,” Mattox said, according to The Christian Post. (TAB)
