Liberty University has revoked its recognition of the campus Democratic Party club, saying “we are unable to lend support to a club whose parent organization stands against the moral principles held by” the university.
“The Democratic Party platform is contrary to the mission of Liberty University and to Christian doctrine (supports abortion, federal funding of abortion, advocates repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, promotes the “LGBT” agenda, hate crimes, which include sexual orientation and gender identity, socialism, etc.)”

They're not exactly promoting liberty at Liberty University.

Considering Liberty University's basic philosophy, I get it. The students can still meet, but they don't get official recognition as affiliated with the university. Hoyas for Choice at Georgetown University have to put up with a similar limitation, but their free speech rights aren't impeded. On the other hand, lack of recognition could have financial consequences, if there was any funding from the university, though I doubt there would be anyway for overtly political groups.
