Virginia State University Faces Lawsuit Over Policy Restricting Christian Student Groups
The suit says a university-run ministry forces Christian clubs to seek approval for meetings and events while exempting some other faith groups.
- Women of Victory and Bethel Campus Fellowship filed a federal lawsuit against Virginia State University last week, challenging an August policy that forces Christian student groups into a university-governed Campus Ministries program.
- The policy requires Christian groups to obtain permission from Campus Minister Thomas Wynn before meeting, yet explicitly exempts the Muslim Student Association and other non-Christian faith-based organizations from these restrictions.
- Represented by Alliance Defending Freedom , plaintiffs cite past disagreements between Wynn and Women of Victory, including an April 2026 incident where Wynn allegedly disrupted a religious event the group hosted.
- The lawsuit alleges the policy violates First Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment rights, seeking to restore the groups' registered status and secure refunds of student activity fees paid by members.
- VSU, a historically black school chartered in 1882, has not responded to multiple requests for comment on the litigation, leaving the university's position on the religious freedom claims unstated.
