UW-Madison will pay nearly $500,000 in legal fees to Badger Catholic after the university lost a court battle with the student group. In September 2010, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the university violated the First Amendment by refusing to fund activities of Badger Catholic involving prayer, worship and proselytizing. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to take the university?s appeal this spring, ending UW-Madison?s appeal process.
