Preferred term

Rosenberger v. Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia  

Definition

  • In Rosenberger v. Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia (1995), the U.S. Supreme Court held that the actions of university officials in denying funding to help pay for the publishing costs of Wide Awake: A Christian Perspective at the University of Virginia constituted viewpoint discrimination in violation of the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment. In light of the significance of Rosenberger with regard to the treatment of religious speech as a subset of free speech, this entry examines its background and judicial analyses.
