UW cuts funds for Catholic group

Other off-campus groups also face loss of rent, utility money

A Catholic group serving University of Wisconsin-Madison students cannot receive student government funding for religious activities, Chancellor John Wiley has declared.

And if it does not become a registered student organization by next fall, it will not be eligible for any funds.

If the chancellor’s cut stands, it would overrule a decision by the UW Student Judiciary, and possibly send the matter into litigation.
