The move came two days after the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the school to comply with a lower court order to recognize the LGBTQ group, at least while it exhausts its appeal on the state level.
People walk by the campus of Yeshiva University in New York City.Yeshiva University will temporarily shut down all of its undergraduate clubs in the college’s latest attempt to avoid recognizing an LGBTQ campus group after a legal bid was denied by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Orthodox Jewish university, which has several campuses in New York City, has waged a years-long battle against a peer support group for LGBTQ students, arguing that recognizing the club violates the university’s religious freedom. Meanwhile, members of the group, YU Pride Alliance, said the university is breaking the city’s human rights law by prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The decision, Rosenfeld said, “is a throwback to 50 years ago when the city of Jackson, Miss. closed all public swimming pools rather than comply with court orders to desegregate.” After a state judge sided with the students in June, the university asked the Supreme Court to intervene.
