Supreme Court Rejects Preacher’s Challenge to University Rules

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal by Rodney Keister, a preacher who visits many campuses, of his challenge to the University of Alabama’s rules about where he can preach there, and under what circumstances, Reuters reported.

The university requires that preachers obtain a permit before handing out religious pamphlets and preaching from a sidewalk adjacent to its campus.

Keister has been involved in prior litigation against Alabama as well. But he lost that as well.
