Fraternal Law #69, September 1999, in "Assessments or Constitutional Violation?":
"... in Healy v. James, 408 U.S. 169 (1972), the Supreme Court refused to accept Centra Connecticut State College's justification for the denial of recognition to a local chapter of Students for a Democratic Society. Even recognizing that a university can impose reasonable regulations regarding time, place and manner of the use of its facilities, the Court held that a state university cannot deny recognition to student groups without substantial justification relating to actual disruption of the campus or illegal conduct. The Supreme Court stated, ... 'There can be no doubt that the denial of official recognition, without justification, to college organizations, burdens or abridges that [First Amendment] associational right.'"
