Texas university approves Christian group after being hit with lawsuit

The University of Houston-Clear Lake reversed itself on Friday and approved the Ratio Christi student group. Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys filed a lawsuit on Monday, October 25 against the public university.

University officials had denied Registered Student Organization status to the Christian group because it requires leadership to believe in God and affirm certain Biblical principles.

“Today, Ratio Christi received the good news they deserve—as a result of our lawsuit, the University of Houston-Clear Lake has now fully recognized the Christian student organization as a registered club on campus, granting them equal treatment among their peer groups,” ADF attorney Caleb Dalton said in a news release.
