Clean sweep for NY church
in settlement with Broome Community College

College scraps discriminatory policy
prohibiting use of facilities for religious purposes

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys have reached a favorable settlement agreement with Broome Community College on behalf of North Pointe Church, which is now allowed equal access to campus facilities after being told it was no longer permitted to meet on campus. ADF attorneys filed suit in February over the school’s discriminatory policy prohibiting religious groups from renting its buildings for meetings while allowing other similarly situated community groups to do so.
