Evangelical Union shouldn't have to give up its faith in fight against discrimation

[barryqwalsh]

For 86 years they have been doing their same earnest and mildly irritating thing, floating around campus in green T-shirts inviting people to interminable barbecues.

From March that must all stop. That is, unless the members of the Evangelical Union agree to make membership of the Evangelical Union about something other than being evangelical. The beliefs and principles which form the core basis of their association (and which their executive must sign up to) have to go, or else

I think the whole religious discrimination label is a bit much. The USU has a mission to provide equal opportunity for all to join the groups under their umbrella. The only stipulation they are requiring is the the EU not make members sign a pledge proclaiming their faith. I don't think that is a discriminatory act and it won't change a thing with how the group functions

...and completely devoid of objectivity concerning the issue.
