DiscipleMakers at Penn State University

Summary

In 2008, Pennsylvania State University discriminated against a DiscipleMakers Christian Fellowship event by denying it student activity funding and an official told a student member that she could not invite students in the dorms to a Bible study. With ADF assisting the group the University amended its student fee policies and funded the event; it also clarified that Bible studies in the dormitory were permitted and students were free to invite others.
