In a technical sense, a ruling by a federal judge Thursday handed defeats to both the University of Wisconsin at Madison and to a Roman Catholic group seeking to receive support through student fees at the university. But the fault that the judge found with the Catholic group is one that it can fairly easily fix. On the key issue of legal philosophy, the judgeâ??s ruling was very much what the religious students wanted: an order that the university not deny them recognition on the basis of Madisonâ??s non-discrimination policy.
