A university cannot use student dues to fund secular groups while excluding religious groups. Decided June 29, 1995 (argued March 1, 1995). Opinion of the Court: Anthony Kennedy → go there Dissenting: Souter. Applied: the First Amendment → go there Topic: Freedom of religion. Rosenberger v. Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, 515 U.S. 819 (1995), was an opinion by the Supreme Court of the United States regarding whether a state university might, consistent with the First Amendment, withhold from student religious publications funding provided to similar secular student publications. The University of Virginia provided funding to every student organization that met funding-eligibility criteria, which Wide Awake, the student religious publication, fulfilled. The University's defense claimed that denying student activity funding to the religious magazine was necessary to avoid the University's violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
