California State University revoked the title of "official club status" of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship groups across its many campuses because the club denied leadership positions to gay members.
The organization violated the non-discrimination clause of California state law, which states that clubs cannot discriminate based on race, gender, religion, sexuality and other demographic characteristics. Notable exceptions are sororities and fraternities, which are allowed to accept only students of their corresponding gender. The club will likely lose benefits that the recognized clubs enjoy, such as school funding and access to free meeting space.
The article said that the university is placing unreasonable restrictions on religious and other organizations, and is reducing pluralism that is essential to the moral development of college students.
