TechnoratiWith the seemingly roughest part out of the way, Childress expressed to the administration the club's hope to find a “peaceable way to resolve this difficult situation.”
“[W]e believe it to be logistically impossible to function as a student group without the ability to reserve space on campus for our meetings,” she wrote. “This remains a major hurdle to functioning as an unendorsed club.”
In this week's response letter, Childress and the club offered a lengthy list of proposals, including agreement to take no funds from the Student Government Association (SGA), not endorse candidates as a group but only as individuals, and continue to “explicitly state that they are pro-life out of personal conviction and respect for the University and what it stands for.”
“LUCD will pledge its support to a pro-life and pro-traditional form of marriage and would like conduct no less than one event each semester that promotes the message of one of these agendas. Such as our planned Sanctity of Life week in the fall,” she added.
In concluding, Childress said the club remains hopeful that a compromise with the university can be reached so that it can once again be an officially recognized organization on campus.
“We look forward to continuing this important dialogue with you,” she concluded.
In commenting on the club’s response, LU’s chancellor noted that the apology included wasn’t an “unequivocal” one, as school officials had hoped for.
[B]ut it was sort of an olive leaf,” Falwell told the Lynchburg News Advance. “[T]he apology did not go far enough, but I think we may find another way to go around that issue.”
On Tuesday, Fallwell said the club and school were still working out details for the club’s constitution.
