University President Overrides Student Government label of “Hate Group” for Students for Life Club; Says Group “fully recognized student organization” University of Northern Iowa President Mark Nook says that denying the Pro-Life SFLA club registration on campus would have denied “them their right to free speech and assembly guaranteed to them by the First Amendment.”   CEDAR FALLS, IA (10-26-20) – Students for Life

  Last week, the NISG (Northern Iowa Student Government) rejected the UNI Students for Life Group’s request for approval. The NISG decided that despite school rules against viewpoint discrimination, they would not allow the group because they disagreed with their pro-life position. The pro-life student leader, Sophia Schuster, fought the NISGs decision by appealing to the school’s Supreme Court.  

  In an act of abysmal discrimination, the NISG (Northern Iowa Student Government) decided to deny the creation of a new Students for Life group. Why? A whole host of biased, untrue reasons. In a virtual vote, pro-choice student senators could not get past their own views in favor of abortion, calling the proposal for a pro-life group “hate speech.”
