Syracuse denies recognition of student group, says conservative views and support of U.S. Constitution are ‘not inclusive’

Syracuse University denied official recognition to a student group earlier this month, in part because it said the group’s conservative ideology and a requirement that prospective members believe in the superiority of the U.S. Constitution were “unreasonable and not inclusive.”

FIRE wrote a letter to SU today, asking the university to clarify that it will not discriminate against student organizations on the basis of their views.
