In October 2013, the University of Michigan student government denied the university’s YAL chapter funding for a speech by Jennifer Gratz, the winning plaintiff in a 2003 lawsuit against the university for its weighing of applicants’ race in admissions. In December, YAL filed suit against the University of Michigan with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). In July of 2014, the University of Michigan entered into a settlement agreement with YAL, agreeing to pay $5,000 to YAL as well as $9,000 in legal fees. In addition to paying $14,000, the University of Michigan revised its policies on the use of university funds in order to clarify that the prohibition on using funds for political activities refers to campaign activities, not discussion of political issues.
