Access Resources: Georgetown University

The Georgetown University situation is significantly different than the University of Wisconsin situation because Georgetown is a private university. However, the underlying issue remains access. InterVarsity has assembled these resources for the news media and other interested individuals who want additional information about the situation on the Georgetown University campus. Georgetown University disaffiated the InterVarsity Graduate chapter and undergraduate chapter, along with five other Protestant campus ministries. InterVarsity believes such action is contrary to Georgetown’s founding principle of discourse among all faiths.
