Healy v. James
408 U. S. 169 (1972)
Key Principle
First Amendment rights of free speech and association apply with full force on a state university campus, and a public college may not deny official recognition to a student organization based on disagreement with its views, its assumed affiliations, or undifferentiated fear of disruption; the burden rests on the college to justify nonrecognition.
