The University of Idaho agreed to pay $90,000 to settle a lawsuit that was filed by three Christian students and a professor who were hit with a no-contact order after expressing opposition to same-sex marriage.
students and a professor who were hit with a no-contact order after expressing opposition to same-sex marriage.
The settlement, disclosed this week, resolves a lawsuit filed by Peter Perlot, Mark Miller, and Ryan Alexander, who are part of the Christian Legal Society, and their faculty adviser Richard Seamon in April after the university issued them a no-contact order for engaging with a law student who questioned why the group required members to maintain that marriage is between one man and one woman.
The university had issued a no-contact order against the group after a law student asked the students why the Christian Legal Society required its officers to assert that marriage must be between a man and a woman. According to the lawsuit, Perlot gave the law student a handwritten note offering to discuss the topic further, while the student condemned the group's religious beliefs during a public panel with the American Bar Association.
The no-contact orders were issued shortly thereafter, but the lawsuit said the four plaintiffs were not told why the orders were issued., University of Idaho spokeswoman Jodi Walker said the settlement was"a good business decision" for the university that is"in the best interest of our students, the university and the state of Idaho.""Litigation costs money and time as well as creates the potential for ongoing trauma to students.
