ADF attorney available to media after hearing Activists groups blocked non-religious funding to Univ. of the Cumberlands
WHO: ADF Senior Counsel Brian Raum WHAT: Available for media interviews following hearing in Pennybacker v. Beshear WHEN: Thursday, Sept. 24, immediately after hearing, which begins at 9 a.m. EDT WHERE: Supreme Court of Kentucky, State Capitol, 700 Capitol Ave., Room 235, Frankfurt FRANKFURT, Ky. — Alliance Defense Fund Senior Counsel Brian Raum will be available for media interviews Thursday following arguments at a hearing in Pennybacker v. Beshear, a lawsuit in which several activist groups are suing to stop the enactment of a bill that would provide funding for a pharmacy school and for student scholarships. The University of the Cumberlands was approved to receive the public funding, but activists blocked the money through a lawsuit focusing on the institution’s religious beliefs rather than on the non-religious purpose of the funds. ADF attorneys and ADF-allied attorney Bryan Beauman of Lexington represent a group of state legislators who are appealing the decision. Attorney Kim Colby of the Christian Legal Society will argue at the hearing for the school.
