Violate the federal laws regarding student orgs and federal funds can be cut off or restricted.

It is also worth remembering that when it comes to private universities and colleges (obviously not an issue with UGa), constitutional protections such as freedom of association are inapplicable, since the Constitution only prohibits the government from infringing on the right to freely associate. Some civil rights law might be applicable, but not constitutional provisions.
Not even if they get federal money?? That seems strange.

If BYX is a private group, then they shouldn't be affiliated with the U more than neccersary, but if they are getting things for free from the U then they should have to play by the rules.
