A student group at the Georgia Institute of Technology is suing after it was denied funding to host an event featuring the niece of Martin Luther King Jr., who was slated to speak about abortion and civil rights.

The student organization, Students for Life, with the support of the national Alliance Defending Freedom, is asking a federal judge in Atlanta to place a moratorium on the university’s collection of certain student activity fees and to reimburse hundreds of dollars in mandatory fees billed to the plaintiffs, exempt them from paying those fees going forward, and to release more than $2,300 in funds requested to host Alveda King. The lawsuit targets university officials, the Student Government Association and the state Board of Regents.
