	Fact sheet: Columbia v. Clarke
		CUC contends that where a funding program is neutral toward religion, provides funding on the basis of student attendance decisions rather than governmental discretion, and contains safeguards to ensure that program funds are used for secular program purposes, the requirements of the Establishment Clause are met.
		CUC contends that a judicially supervised investigation of this nature itself violates the Free Exercise clause of the First Amendment, in that it requires government officials to make judgments about and distinctions between the religious practices of different church-affiliated schools.
		Columbia Union College serves a broad range of students, with 16 majors leading to a bachelor of arts and 17 leading to a bachelor of science degree.

	Columbia Union College v. Clarke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Columbia Union contends that, because the amount of Sellinger funds awarded to a given college depends on the number of students enrolled, Sellinger grants are based on the same student "private choices" that rendered the Witters grant constitutional.
		Columbia Union, however, points to additional evidence demonstrating the "mandatory" nature of its policy may not be as compulsory as the words suggest.
		Columbia Union contends that a more narrowly tailored solution would be to order Maryland to amend its Sellinger grant program so that, rather than fund colleges directly, the State would provide such funds to students to be used at any qualifying college.

	freedomforum.org: Federal judge gives religious college go-ahead to seek state funds
		Columbia Union College in Takoma Park has been fighting for a decade to be included in Maryland's Sellinger Program, which provides direct payments to public and private colleges in the state for nonreligious courses and programs.
		Initially, Garbis ruled that Columbia Union was not eligible for state funds because it was "pervasively sectarian." But the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered him to reconsider and provided a legal formula for him to follow in weighing the college's eligibility.
		Columbia Union "is controlled by the Seventh Day Adventist Church with a faculty and student body selected so as to give preferences to church members," Garbis wrote.

		He says his goal for the college is to form a "community of resistance against the status quo." Scriven doesn't want Columbia Union to offer a "cafeteria" type of education to undergraduates seeking to find themselves.
		To this end, the college is attempting to raise its visibility throughout the area, hoping to spread the word throughout the business community that Columbia Union prepares its students well in basic skills key to the life science and information technology sectors.
		Columbia Union is one of a dozen or so Adventist schools in the country.

	Columbia Union College v. Clark
		Although many of the colleges participating in the Sellinger Program are affiliated with religious institutions, Maryland deemed Columbia Union College, a private liberal arts college affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, “too religious” to participate.
		Board of Public Works of Md., 426 U.S. (1976) (plurality opinion), both courts nonetheless concluded that Columbia Union’s exclusion could be justified by Maryland’s compelling interest in enforcing the Establishment Clause by ensuring that a “pervasively sectarian” institution did not benefit from public funds.
		Columbia Union’s exclusion from the Sellinger Program “raise[s] the inevitable inference that the disadvantage imposed is born of animosity to the class of [institutions] affected,” namely, those schools that insist upon integrating their religious and secular functions.

		"Columbia Union College is pleased and satisfied with the results of the decision," said Randal Wisbey, president of CUC, in a statement released June 28.
		Columbia Union College cannot be excluded from the Sellinger Program solely because of its religious nature, said a three-member panel of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals.
		However, a district court ruled in August 2000 that CUC is not fundamentally different from the religious schools that currently receive aid under the program; and so to deny CUC funding would violate the principle of equal protection under the law.

	AAUP-Brief for Amicus Curiae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The district court notes that Columbia Union’s academic freedom policy provides that its faculty members "have complete freedom," yet ignores the qualification that seemingly eviscerates that freedom: "so long as their speech and actions are in harmony with the philosophies and principles of the college—a Seventh-day Adventist institution of higher educ[a]tion." Id.
		Because Columbia Union does not explicitly subscribe to the 1940 Statement in general, and the Statement’s academic freedom principles in particular, the college differs from those religious institutions whose "religious affiliations" the Supreme Court has found not to "interfere[] with.
		Whether or not this Court decides that Columbia Union is pervasively sectarian, it should correct the district court’s misinterpretation of the 1940 Statement.

	freedomforum.org: High court won't hear appeal from religious school seeking state aid
		Lawyers for Columbia Union College, a private liberal arts college in Takoma Park, Md., and affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, had asked the high court to overturn the 4th Circuit ruling.
		College officials had sought funds from a state program that provides funds to private colleges in the state, including sectarian ones.
		The Maryland Higher Education Commission, however, routinely denied the funds to Columbia Union, citing the First Amendment's establishment clause as a bar to government funding of religious institutions and saying that the college was too closely aligned with the Seventh-day Adventist Church to receive state funds.

		The Columbia Union College case is one of CIR's greatest victories for freedom of religion.
		CUC, a small four-year college with about 600 students, had been denied a public grant by the state of Maryland because its Seventh-day Adventist composition made it "pervasively sectarian." Or, in plain English, CUC was too religious for the tastes of state bureaucrats.
		The decisive moment in the case came on June 26, 2001 when the 4th Circuit Court upheld an earlier ruling that CUC was not pervasively sectarian and therefore eligible for state funds.

	Academe: Church-related college eligible for state funds
		In 1992 the Maryland Higher Education Commission ruled that Columbia Union College was unable to meet the last requirement because it was "pervasively sectarian." In a 1996 ruling, Judge Marvin Garbis agreed.
		Columbia Union requires its approximately 675 traditional, full-time students to attend weekly chapel services; residential students must attend an additional three worship sessions a week.
		He found that even though religious doctrine appears in courses outside the college's religion department, religious indoctrination is a secondary, rather than a primary, goal of those courses.
