FIRE Victory closed

University of Arizona's application procedure for new student groups required submission of a proposed constitution and a nondiscrimination statement. The group Students for Life submitted an application that satisfied the written guidelines of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, the student government. Students for Life also included a requirement that members "must agree to stand by the princip[le]s that life is sacred and that the intentional killing of human beings through abortion, euthanasia, and murder, and all forms of eugenics are morally reprehensible." The application was denied.
