UW-Madison again sued by religious group over funding (AP)

MADISON (AP) â?? A Catholic student group sued the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Monday, saying the school is illegally refusing to allow student fees to pay for certain religious activities.

The Roman Catholic Foundation is asking a federal judge to force the university to pay for things like printing Lenten booklets, running Evangelical Catholic training camps and hosting spiritual retreats where students are counseled by priests and nuns.
