Amid Court Fight, L.G.B.T.Q. Club Proposes a Compromise to Yeshiva
nytimes.comAn L.G.B.T.Q. student group offered to delay seeking recognition from Yeshiva University, its members said Wednesday, after a U.S.
Supreme Court ruling prompted the Modern Orthodox Jewish institution to suspend all undergraduate club activities rather than sanction the group.
Although Yeshiva lost at the Supreme Court on procedural grounds last week, it immediately announced its intent to refile its case in state court.
In a deal proposed on Wednesday, the student group’s lawyer said it would stand down while the case played out, if the university agreed to allow the other clubs “to resume effective immediately.” In a statement, the students called their decision “painful and difficult” and said that Yeshiva had a responsibility under city human rights law to treat their club, the Pride Alliance, like any other on campus.
