The group challenged the permit requirement and argued it violated the 2019 “Alabama Campus Free Speech Act.” University spokeswoman Elizabeth Gibisch has not responded to an email sent in the past week that asked for comment on the ruling.
An ADF attorney updated The College Fix on the status of the lawsuit via email on November 22.
Now that the Alabama Supreme Court has allowed the lawsuit to continue, “the case will proceed on the merits in circuit court,” according to attorney Mathew Hoffmann.
Hoffmann said that ADF was not aware of any plans by the university to change its free speech policies in light of the lawsuit.
