Yale Law School was accused of discriminating against groups who hold traditional views on gender and same-sex relationships.
Former Republican presidential candidate, Senator Ted Cruz, announced that the Senate Judiciary Committee is opening an investigation into their decision.
The policy change came after a student debating society invited religious liberty group Alliance Defending Freedom to an event. Following a complaint from Yale’s LGBT group Outlaws, the university announced that it would no longer offer financial support for placements with organisations which hold to traditional views on gender and same-sex relationships.
