(MICHIGAN DAILY) — The University of Michigan has denied allegations that a student group was kicked off campus as a result of the club’s bylaws, which are perceived by some to be discriminatory.
The University’s Asian InterVarsity chapter of the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, a non-denominational, evangelical campus ministry, claimed Thursday that it was “kicked off” campus because of religious qualifications for its student leaders in the InterVarsity’s Doctrinal Basis and Chapter Covenant, which do not allow the admittance of gay or lesbian members.
Contrary to the organization’s claim, University spokesperson Kelly Cunningham said in a statement that the student organization did not complete its annual re-registration process by the Sept. 30 deadline, a requirement of all student organizations.
