Kansas House debates campus religious discrimination bill
The Kansas House committee heard criticism of Senate Bill 175 which would shield faith based student groups at public colleges from discrimination based on sincerely held beliefs. Opponents warn the measure could force colleges like Washburn to recognize or fund groups that discriminate against protected individuals. Proponents cite safeguarding religious freedom while opponents cite potential misuse and lack of a hard definition.
