NASHVILLE, Tenn. Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam has vetoed a measure that tried to force Vanderbilt University to exempt student religious groups from its nondiscrimination policy.
The universitys so-called all-comers policy requires student groups at the school to allow any interested students to join and run for office. Some religious groups have waged a high-profile battle to overturn it.
The Republican governor said Wednesday that he disagrees with Vanderbilts policy, but its inappropriate for government to mandate the policies of a private institution.
A Vanderbilt University spokesman didnt immediately have a comment on the decision.

(146,218 posts)I do not, however, think that they should make an exception for any particular kinds of groups. As long as this is their uniform policy, then it seems reasonable to me.
