The case is being litigated.

One should consider whether any private university that received direct and indirect (e.g. student loans, tax exemptions, etc.) is allowed to ban an organization whose advocacy it disapproves of. Could YU ban a “friends of cheeseburgers” club? What about a “Hebrew Christians” club? What about banning a student “Friends of Neturei Karta” or a student group calling for “removal” of Palestinians from Eretz Yisrael.

Could private university ban a group advocating political incorrectness? Could a private, and WOKE, university ban “MAGA” club or a Chabad house? Could a private university ban a student organization that advocates genocide against Jews or the re-enslavement of African Americans? If a faith-sponsored university can ban students for religious reasons, do they risk losing their government funding? What if a university bans certain viewpoints that if done by a public university would raise 1st amendment issues (remember that the first amendment only applies to the government), should the university give up its students’ eligibility for subsidized student loans as well as its tax exemptions (not subject to real property tax, contributions are tax deductible from income tax, etc.).
