Yeshiva University abruptly halted the activities of all its undergraduate clubs while it considers how to respond to a U.S. Supreme Court order compelling the private New York school to recognize an LGBTQ student group.
The move is the latest attempt by the Modern Orthodox Jewish university to avoid giving the Y.U. Pride Alliance the same access to campus facilities as other clubs, including a classroom, bulletin boards and a club-fair booth.
“The Pride Alliance seeks a safe space on campus, nothing more,” she said in an email Saturday. “By shutting down all club activities, the YU administration attempts to divide the student body, and pit students against their LGBT peers. We are confident that YU students will see through this shameful tactic and stand together in community.”A representative from Yeshiva University did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday morning.
The school did not say in its announcement Friday what specific measures it would take to try to reverse the state court’s order that it must recognize the Pride Alliance.In a June ruling, New York Supreme Court Judge Lynn Kotler wrote that Yeshiva’s refusal to accommodate the group violated the city’s anti-discrimination law.
