The university claims that allowing all students to participate in all advocacy groups will not water down their messages, nor lead to hostile takeovers by opposing students. But this harsh policy drove off campus an evangelical Christian group called the Christian Legal Society.
CLS was formed a half century ago as a fellowship for Christian lawyers and law students. It requires its members and officers to agree with its Christian statement of faith. UC-Hastings views this as “religious discrimination,” because CLS would not allow atheists or Buddhists to lead its Bible studies.
CLS also requires its officers to live by certain biblical conduct requirements, such as no stealing and no sex outside of marriage. UC-Hastings views this as “sexual orientation discrimination” because those who commit adultery, hire a prostitute, marry multiple wives, or engage in homosexual conduct would not be allowed to remain in CLS leadership absent repentance. CLS learned that Hastings did not require any other student group to accept people who disagreed with its beliefs, so it filed suit.
