A University of Iowa student group that promotes Christian beliefs has won a second court ruling that said UI acted unlawfully in deregistering religious groups.
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit Judge Jonathan Kobes said in a ruling released Friday that what the university did was clearly unconstitutional and treated religious groups differently under the school s Human Rights Policy while giving exemptions to and ignoring other groups that violated the policy with missions he said he presumes UI supported. The ruling also leaves open the possibility of at least three defendants being held liable for damages.
The decision upheld a 2019 court case that also found that UI faith groups had the right to choose their leadership based on the individuals religious beliefs.
