Judge denies Wis. Catholic group’s attempt for student fees

MADISON, Wis. – A federal judge Thursday rejected a Catholic group’s attempt to get student fees from the University of Wisconsin, saying the organization is not controlled by students.

U.S. District Judge John Shabaz’s ruling means the UW-Madison Roman Catholic Foundation, for now, cannot receive more than $250,000 in student fees to run religious programming.
