"Now, two years later, the judge has awarded $1 in nominal damages, as well as the opportunity for InterVarsity to continue the lawsuit in pursuit of compensatory damages, despite having been restored to their previous status in March of 2018," he said. "We recently received the court's 83-page opinion and are reviewing it."

Judge Cleland affirmed that continuing the litigation was necessary because WSU refused to change the nondiscrimination policy and "still contend[s] that Plaintiffs are in violation." He forbade the university from again revoking InterVarsity's recognition based on its "religious criteria for student leadership selection."
