>student organizations cannot be "de-recognized" for simply not fitting the template that some administrator dreams up.
Sure they can be. You can't expel students for fraternizing with each other, but you can choose to recognize or not recognize student groups as long as the criteria are not discriminatory. In other words, you can't recognize white fraternities but not black fraternities, but you CAN recognize only those groups which meet campus standards that are applied across the board (registering with Student Affairs, meeting with a faculty advisor, whatever). Your first amendment right to associate within a group is NOT an unconditional right to be "recognized" by the university irrespective of the group's behavior.
If you have are aware of a case holding otherwise, I'd certainly like to see it.
