Yeshiva University in New York City will have to continue to recognize an LGBTQ student organization while the school argues its case against the group in state court, the Supreme Court has ruled.
after the school refused to officially recognize the student group on the grounds that it conflicted with the school's interpretation of the Torah.
Katie Rosenfeld, an attorney for the YU Pride Alliance, said the ruling was a victory for Yeshiva University students and praised the Supreme Court for sending the case back to state court. "At the end of the day, Yeshiva University students will have a club for peer support this year, and the sky is not going to fall down. No longer will students be denied a safe and supportive space on campus to be together," she added.
