Case Overview
FIRE Victory closed
The Catholic University of America (CUA) denied official approval to a group of students wishing to start a campus chapter of the NAACP. Despite university policies that protect student freedoms of dissent and expression, CUA argued that the existence of two other minority groups on campus made the group unnecessary. Facing pressure from ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø and a threat of litigation from the NAACP, CUA finally decided to officially recognize the campus chapter.
