Christian Colleges Sue State After Being Excluded From Dual Enrollment Program
Two Minnesota Christian colleges have sued the state after being excluded from its dual enrollment program due to their religious requirements, challenging a decades-long law amendment that effectively bars them from participating in the program. The law, passed in 2015, requires that the program be administered by a public university or community college.
Two Minnesota Christian colleges have sued the state after being excluded from its dual enrollment program due to their requirement of requiring students to sign a waiver acknowledging that certain programs may conflict with religious beliefs. The law, which has been in place for decades, was amended to exclude institutions that do not provide such waivers. The plaintiffs argue that this exclusion is discriminatory and unconstitutional. They are seeking reinstatement into the program and an injunction against the state's actions.
