Christian Legal Society v. The Ohio State University Ohio State University agreed on October 1, 2004 that it could not require the Christian Legal Society (CLS) chapter at its Michael E. Moritz College of Law and other campus religious groups to abide by the University’s “non-discrimination policy.”  The policy would have forced the CLS chapter, and other campus religious groups, to accept members and officers who reject their Christian beliefs. CLS' Center for Law and Religious Freedom and local attorney Thomas W. Condit had filed suit in March 2004 against the University after it threatened to revoke the CLS chapter’s status as an OSU-recognized student organization.  OSU moved to de-recognize the CLS chapter and strip it of its privileges as an approved club - including access to meeting rooms, bulletin boards and student organization funding - after another student group filed with the University an allegation of discrimination.  The complaint of discrimination alleged that the chapter violated the University's non-discrimination policy because it required its members and officers to profess faith in Jesus Christ and to exhibit a lifestyle consistent with orthodox Christian doctrine, including a prohibition on practicing homosexuality.
