Case Overview

FIRE Victory closed

A group of Trinity College students sought recognition for the Churchill Club, a student organization affiliated with the Hartford-based Churchill Institute, which is 鈥渄edicated to the preservation, dissemination and extension of the Western moral and philosophical Tradition.鈥 After Trinity鈥檚 Student Government Association (SGA) delayed voting on the club鈥檚 recognition for weeks following student protest, FIREwrote Trinity on April 12, 2019, explaining that denying recognition to the Churchill Club based on the group鈥檚 viewpoint would violate Trinity College鈥檚 stated commitments to free expression.

On April 29, the SGA announced that it had voted to deny recognition to the Churchill Club. The president of Trinity College clarified later that day that SGA鈥檚 denial would only pertain to funding disbursed by SGA, and that the college formally recognized the Churchill Club in other capacities.
