Beyond that, any college or university can choose what groups to recognize and what groups not to recognize. As long as such decisions are made on objective and evenly-applied criteria, there likely is not a problem. Just because a college doesn't recognize an org you belong to doesn't necessarily mean that the college is infringing upon any freedom of association rights.

The NAACP would be in a different catagory because of its political nature.

Exactly. Resolutions like this tend to be sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Interesting, but is it equal rights for all or just a few and who make the decisions?
