The Alma Mater Society at the University of British Columbia suspended two religious clubs–the Newman Club and the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship–from all rights on the campus because of “religious discrimination.”
The suspensions were voted 19 to 7 by the student executive of the Alma Mater Society on the grounds that the charters of the two clubs were discriminatory “and racial and religious discrimination are repugnant to the ideals of a democracy.”
