Pro-life student group reaches settlement
with Wayne St. Univ. over funds, access

ADF attorneys pave road to lifting unconstitutional campus policy
discriminating against Students for Life

DETROIT — Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund Center for Academic Freedom have reached a favorable settlement on behalf of a pro-life student organization in a lawsuit against officials of Wayne State University.  WSU has agreed to change its unconstitutional student fee and facilities use policies and pay back previously denied student fee funds.

ADF attorneys filed a lawsuit against university officials in July 2008 after the school refused to allow Students for Life the same access to student fees and facilities that other student groups have.
