Yale Law School was accused of discriminating against groups who hold traditional views on gender and same-sex relationships.
Former Republican presidential candidate, Senator Ted Cruz, announced that the Senate Judiciary Committee is opening an investigation into their decision.
The policy change came after a student debating society invited religious liberty group Alliance Defending Freedom to an event. Following a complaint from Yale’s LGBT group Outlaws, the university announced that it would no longer offer financial support for placements with organisations which hold to traditional views on gender and same-sex relationships.
Bullies
Aaron Haviland, a Yale student asked: ‘Who is to say that the school will not cave again and start denying admission to conservative applicants?’
Tyson Langhofer, Director of the Alliance Defending Freedom Center for Academic Freedom said: ‘I think it’s pretty clear that it’s motivated by anti-religious bigotry. Yale is caving to activists and trying to bully religious students and others out of the marketplace of ideas.’
