Freedom of Association is protected by the First Amendment. It only prohibits the government from infringing on the right of freedom of association, so in this context, it only applies to public universities.
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.
