I AM an attorney, and I primarily do constitutional law.

Feminists, racial clubs and groups, homosexuals, all pushed for recognition.

Right, because they were denied recognition for DISCRIMINATORY REASONS -- because of their race, creed, or political beliefs. That's not what's going on here.

A public institution cannot tell you your club the members has to do so much community service or achieve a given grade point or jump through a series of politically correct hoops.

Yes, it can, as long as it (1) does not forbid the club from meeting off campus if de-recognized, and (2) it does not single out some clubs for punishment for discriminatory reasons. ASSOCIATING with the club members is your First Amendment right; RECOGNITION BY THE UNIVERSITY is a privilege. A public university is legally within its rights if it requires recognized groups that use the university name to meet administrative criteria.
Point me to a COURT CASE holding otherwise, and I will concede that I'm wrong.
