On Campus: U.S. Supreme Court declines to take Badger Catholic case

An appeals court decision that said UW-Madison must fund religious activities for student groups will stand, after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take the university?s appeal on Monday. In September 2010, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the university violated the First Amendment by refusing to fund some events for the student group Badger Catholic involving prayer, worship and proselytizing.
