A pro-life student group in Manitoba will be allowed to operate on campus after a university’s student union stripped it of official club status. Brandon University Students’ Union (BUSU) reversed its decision to ban Brandon University Students for Life last week, after the anti-abortion club took legal action against the union in July. The organizations have settled out of court, with the student union promising to recognize the group for the 2016-17 school year. “As students of Brandon University, we must have the same right as every other fee-paying member of BUSU to participate fully in campus life, like other student groups,” said Students for Life president Catherine Dubois in a statement. Without official club status, Students for Life would have to pay to book meeting rooms, and would not have access to special student group benefits, like event reimbursements.
