Cases

Christian Medical & Dental Association at the University of North Dakota

Summary

The University of North Dakota refused to grant official recognition to Christian Medical and Dental Association because the group required its officers and members to adhere to orthodox Christian beliefs, including Biblical prohibitions against homosexual conduct. After ADF sent a demand letter and began preparing for litigation, the University agreed to change its policy and allow the group to retain faith-based requirements for officers and members.
