After a month of back-and-forth negotiations, the controversy between Liberty University and the college Democrat club reached a resolution Monday.I suppose this falls into the "better late than never" category, but why this was an issue in the first place is beyond me.
A proposed change in university policy, announced by Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. over the weekend, in effect puts the student club on equal footing with the school’s College Republicans.
Both groups, along with any other political clubs on campus, now are recognized under the new policy as unofficial clubs.
The move was embraced by a student leader of the Democratic club on Monday.
Liberty University Compromise: Better Late Than Never?

I'm not sure why this had to take a month, a request from Americans United for Separation of Church and State for the IRS to investigate Liberty University’s tax-exempt status, the resignation (and transfer decision) of the Democratic club's president (Brian Diaz), lots of overheated rhetoric, etc., etc.
