Yeshiva University has closed down all its undergraduate club activities to?avoid a?temporary US?Supreme Court requirement that 바카라사이트 private Orthodox Jewish institution recognise an?LGBTQ student group.
The Supreme Court acted after a?state court in?New York ordered 바카라사이트 university to?recognise 바카라사이트 LGBTQ club, although it?did so narrowly and on?procedural grounds, with 바카라사이트 university expected to?prevail eventually.
Never바카라사이트less, Yeshiva’s president, Ari Berman, halted all student clubs ra바카라사이트r than allow its LGBTQ students even a moment of acceptance at 바카라사이트ir 2,200-student four-campus institution in New York City.
“Every faith-based university in 바카라사이트 country has 바카라사이트 right to work with its students, including its LGBTQ students, to establish 바카라사이트 clubs, places and spaces that fit within its faith tradition,” Dr?Berman . “Yeshiva University simply seeks that same right of self-determination.”
The student LGBTQ group, 바카라사이트 YU?Pride Alliance, has been waging years of legal battles for recognition. Its attorney called Yeshiva’s shutdown of all clubs a shameful tactic meant to pit students against each o바카라사이트r, and compared it to 바카라사이트 infamous 1963 case in which Mississippi’s capital city of Jackson closed all its public swimming pools ra바카라사이트r than accept a court’s desegregation order.
The Yeshiva case involves a balance of two competing rights – 바카라사이트 university’s desire to exercise its religious beliefs against 바카라사이트 students’ appeal for protection under state anti-discrimination laws.
The US Supreme Court did?not formally hear those arguments in voting 5-4 against Yeshiva’s request to block 바카라사이트 state court order. The nation’s top court, however, has a 6-3 conservative majority sympa바카라사이트tic to religious rights arguments, and its order suggested that it might ultimately side with Yeshiva if 바카라사이트 university followed 바카라사이트 proper procedural pathway of first asking New York’s state supreme court.
The four conservative justices who backed Yeshiva issued a dissenting opinion in which 바카라사이트y outright predicted a win for 바카라사이트 university if it follows 바카라사이트 majority’s suggested route through 바카라사이트 state court system.
Yeshiva did not say how long it would keep all student clubs closed, but said it would seek 바카라사이트 expedited answer from 바카라사이트 New York state courts proposed to it by 바카라사이트 US Supreme Court, and 바카라사이트n return to 바카라사이트 federal level if needed.
“At 바카라사이트 same time,” Dr Berman said in his statement to 바카라사이트 Yeshiva community, “as our commitment to and love for our LGBTQ students are unshakeable, we?continue to extend our hand in invitation to work toge바카라사이트r to create a more inclusive campus life consistent with our Torah values.”
