Thomas v. Boren

Summary

The Beacon, a student newspaper with a Christian perspective at the University of Oklahoma, applied for funding as a student organization and received $150, while the other paper on campus received over $4,000. The student committee cited a policy prohibiting use of student funds for “religious services.” ADF filed a lawsuit and the University agreed to change its policies and provide appropriate funding for the newspaper.
