Christian Group Claims University Levied ‘Unconstitutional’ Fines on Pro-Life Students

This past week, the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), a Christian legal group, sent a letter to administration officials at the University of Michigan contesting what it called “unconstitutional fees” assessed to a pro-life student group on campus.

Christian Group Claims University Levied Unconstitutional Fines on Pro Life Students

Dr. Alveda King speaks at the University of Michigan, Oct. 7, 2010 (Michigan Daily)

An event held by U of M’s Students for Life chapter last fall hosted Dr. Alveda King, the pro-life niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  The event drew moderate protests from some students on campus and campus officials insisted the pro-life group have campus safety officers on-hand even though Students for Life believed such security was unnecessary.

Dr. King spoke to a crowd of about 250 students about why she’s changed her opinion on abortion over the years and about her role as a civil rights activist.  Following the event, the university billed Students for Life more than $800 for the security personnel despite the group’s objections.

The Alliance Defense Fund sent a letter Monday to university officials claiming such a charge is unconstitutional.  “The Supreme Court has made clear that the government may not charge speakers for the security costs driven by listeners’ response to that speech,” the letter states.

Quoting the U.S. Supreme Court, the letter continues, “‘Speech cannot be financially burdened, anymore than it can be punished or banned, simply because it might offend a hostile mob.’ This mandate is based on the principle that ‘the government may not regulate speech based on its substantive content or the message it conveys.’ Thus, when the University charges a speaker for the security presence necessary to control a potentially hostile audience, it runs afoul of this constitutional command, because ‘listeners’ reaction to speech is not a content-neutral basis for regulation.’”

“Pro-life student groups should not be singled out to pay fees that others do not have to pay. The type of fee assessed to Students for Life has been repeatedly ruled unconstitutional,” ADF Senior Counsel David French said. “A very basic and clear constitutional principle is that the government cannot place this sort of price tag on free speech simply because that speech might offend somebody.”

The Alliance Defense Fund is requesting that the university relieve the student group of the security costs immediately and clarify university policies to better reflect the Supreme Court’s ruling.

Kristan Hawkins, the president of Students for Life of America, commented on the disputed charges.

“The University of Michigan has placed a massive financial burden on the University of Michigan Students for Life group just because the decided to bring a national pro-life Leader to campus,” Hawkins told LifeNews.com. “school has no right to charge the students for security they mandated they have.”

“No other group on campus has had the administration step in and force them to have security at an event. If the school felt it was that important to have security for Dr. King, against the opinion of the SFL campus group, then they should pay for it, not the students,” she concluded. “It is unfair to place these sorts of undo burdens on SFL groups simply because they express an opinion unpopular with their administration.”

      I see, change the subject to an attack on Christians. This has nothing to do with Easter. Perhaps you should read the article. I think you have but since you can‘t defend the University’s administration for singling out this organization by demanding that they pay for the security when they have not done so for other organizations is indefensible. It is much easier to attempt to divert the discussion to something else by making wild and asinine accusations about “Then again this is the standard way with Christians – who have yet to prove a single thing they claim”. What a juvenile and weak attempt to debate the subject.

      Fortunately (or not), you are not required to spend eternity with Him. It is a free choice after all.

      However I suggest you do a little more research on the topic. Many who are far wiser than you or I have come to the conclusion that there is in fact a God, who did in fact create the universe, and who has revealed Himself to us is his creation and his Word.

    Where to begin. “The Supreme Court has made clear that the government may not charge speakers for the security costs driven by listeners’ response to that speech,” First, the school did bill the speaker (Dr. King) but rather Student for Life. Second, the school is not the “government” but they are influenced by government b/c of the money they receive from the government. I think the school is in their right to do this.

    The point is that charging these students for security is something that the University has not done for any other organization. This would seem to indicate that the University is trying to punish them for their beliefs and for the beliefs of their quest speaker. Either that or the University believes that the students from the left are prone to violence. Regardless of the accusations that the left likes to level about how violent conservatives are it is a bogus charge and in fact just the opposite seems to be true in the United States.
    This appears to be a case of the University showing their bias. Perhaps it is time for state governments to start looking into their respective University systems. If there is clear cases of bias by the University administration then maybe it is time for some major changes. It is the job of the Universities to educate not indoctrinate. They are doing it on our dime. Enough already.

    It is time to stop trying to outlaw abortion and to start teaching, in the home and church, that it is wrong. While I believe that it stops a beating heart, the Government has no business getting between a woman, her God, her Doctor and her Conscience. The harder a law banning the procedure is pushed for, the more the Government thinks that is can regulate our lives.

    Teach your children well and this will cease to be a concern. Ask the Government to outlaw it, the quicker they will outlaw more behavior. It is wrong, PERIOD but it is a matter for something other than the Government.

      We (the government) already outlaw certain behaviors, taking an innocent life as an example. Why are we the paople standing by while this murder of millions of innocent lives goes on, and with our tax dollars. We appear to have no say when this happens. All tax payer dollars need to be pulled from this practice in any form, even if Roe v. Wade is not overturned. If our monies are removed from the equation will the struggle cease? No, of course not, but it’s a start. It’s also the right thing to do.

      Now I agree with you that the right education and training begins at home and will help reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions. But it is still outrages to think that we don’t already regulate behavior. Your premise fails right out of the gate. An education at home approach is a good first strike, but as evidenced by current world events and trends, it will loose. Narrow is the gate to Heaven and few will be those who pass through.

They know there is a risk because they Support the murderous groups and understand how violent they can be … ‘Worried for the safety of these “Radicals”

    A few years ago I was a “leader” of a Cub Scout pack, we had to Rent the middle school cafeteria for a “Bring your own Buffet supper”, which included a janitor and a Security Guard(Cub Scouts can be Soo violent), we did not use the kitchen and could not even plug in our warmers, crock pots … A couple months later, I found the hall had been used for a Union supper at no charge, and they used the facilities and staff to cook the food, that the school payed for … I think there is soon similarity here.

    On the other hand, the administration does have the constitutional right to dictate course content, to hire communists, Islamacists, and radicals and place them in life-long (tenured) positions that the American taxpayers have to continue supporting at ridiculous salaries. The Presidents and professors of most state universities and colleges make more money for less work than the President of the United States. And they are just sure they have a right to discriminate against opposing views and demand that you and I pay for the pleasure received. Just look at the lower level school in Wisconsin–they want you and I to pay for whatever they demand and want. This prepares them for University positions. The people in each state must take back their schools, universities and government from the unions and communists.

      The Alliance Defense Fund (I am an affilitated attorney with them) and the American Center for Law and Justice are keeping sanity in America in the legal field and are trying to undo all that the ACLU (Anti-Christian Litigation Unit) has done to America. The ADF and ACLJ are the good guys. The ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law Center are the bad guys.

      Typical liberal ignorance from Dawg. Looks at Obama’s skin color first and not the merits of the person. Hey, come to think of it that sounds a lot like racism to me.

      @ DAWG your right!!!!!! Man I wish we were all as brilliant as you are, your comments are so inspired and wrought with well thought out arguments!!! Well, I guess we’ll just have to continue to live a mundane ordinary life based in reality, common sense, and reason. But we can always dream.

      Gone are the days when what are meant to be insidious, behind the scenes, jabs at all who are pro-life can escape national attention and national scrutiny. Because of the info hwy we all have access to, it’s easy to shine light into darkness. And those who love to major in all that is insidious and behind the scenes love darkness and hate light.

      Let the U of M know, directly and from all across America, that America Sees and Knows and is Watching. http://www.umich.edu is their website — names and contact info for everyone from the president to the board of regents can easily be found on their site.

      Agreed. MLK is smiling in heaven, I just wish he could be smiling here. May more MLK’s rise up…I will try to be as much like him and her as I can.
