A federal judge has ruled that a Michigan school discriminated against a Christian campus group that requires its leaders to be Christians.

Judge Robert Cleland found that Wayne State University, a state school in Detroit, treated the campus’s chapter of the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship unfairly when it suspended the group in 2017 for mandating that leaders must profess Christianity.
