WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday issued an order by Justice Sonia Sotomayor that allows Yeshiva University in New York to refuse to recognize an LGBTQ club for students.
The Orthodox Jewish university is fighting an order by a New York judge who said the campus must abide by the city’s human rights law which forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation.
In an emergency appeal filed with Sotomayor — who oversees such motions for New York — the university urged the high court to intervene and rule it has a religious liberty right to deny recognition to the YU Pride Alliance.
