Libertarian students sue UMich for political discrimination

The Daily Caller reports:
A libertarian student club is suing the University of Michigan for political discrimination stemming from a decision made by UM officials to deny funding to the group.

A university funding commission refused to fund YAF on the grounds that the group was engaged in “political” activity–despite giving money to left-leaning political groups, such as the NAACP and Immigrant Rights Advocacy.

In October, UM’s chapter of the Young Americans for Liberty hosted a guest lecture by anti-affirmative action activist Jennifer Gratz. The event, which was covered by The Daily Caller, drew a crowd of left-wing hecklers.


No surprise here: University of Michigan exists because of the lack of libertarian values in the state of Michigan.
