A judge has ruled
that lawmakers violated the state constitution by
appropriating state funding to a Baptist university.
A gay rights
group filed suit to try to block an $11 million
appropriation meant to create a pharmacy school at the
University of the Cumberlands, a Southern Baptist
school in Williamsburg, Ky., that ousted a student in
April 2006 for being gay.

Alliance executive director Christina Gilgor calls the
ruling a victory against state-subsidized discrimination. A
call to the university for comment wasn't returned.
The Center for
Law & Religious Freedom had argued on behalf of the
school that the legislature acted lawfully because it sought
to address the state's shortage of pharmacists. (AP)
