University of Wisconsin System will pay $2,500 in legal fees to a UW-Eau Claire resident assistant to settle his lawsuit challenging a campus practice banning him from hosting Bible studies in his dormitory.
The settlement, made public in U.S. District Court in Madison on Friday, also calls for UW System to pay a symbolic $1 in damages to the student, Lance Steiger.
“We’re pleased to have this matter resolved,” UW System spokeswoman Kate Dixon said Friday.
