A Christian fraternity from the University of Florida is under fire for discrimination.
Lawyers for Beta Upsilon Chi argued before the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals today that the school’s non-discrimination policy threatens the fraternity’s core beliefs.
The fraternity, which requires its members to be Christian, has been barred from the off-campus system of fraternities and sororities. That’s because its rules prohibit any type of religious discrimination.
An injunction was issued in July that forced the school to recognize the fraternity while the case moves forward.
