The University of North Carolina at Greensboro has backtracked on its previous policy and allowed a Christian pro-life group on campus to be designated as a religious organization, reports World magazine:

The recognition came two weeks after members of Make Up Your Own Mind, represented by the Alliance Defense Fund, filed suit against the school. Members of the pro-life group, which is affiliated with the Greensboro Pregnancy Care Center, tried for almost a year to gain status as a religious organization, which gives them the right to pick leaders based on their beliefs. All other campus groups must allow any student to apply for a leadership position.

A school spokeswoman told the Associated Press on Tuesday that Make Up Your Own Mind would be registered as soon as its members resubmitted its bylaws and contact information.

“We have apologized to [the group] for the delay in determining their status and notified them that we are granting the organization recognition,” university spokeswoman Helen Dennison Hebert wrote in an email.

If the university had continued to deny the religious designation, the pro-life group ostensibly wouldn’t have had leeway to prevent abortion supporters from signing up as members.
