If Yeshiva can\u2019t even make religious decisions on its own campus, then no religious group is safe from government control.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Becket Fund is representing YU.<\/p>\n<p>The New York court contends that YU does not merit a religious exemption because it represents itself as an educational and not religious institution, wrote William McGurn , the former Chief Speechwriter for President George W.

The Court stated that if YU sought but did not receive expedited review or interim relief from the New York courts, they could return to the Court.<\/p>\n<p>The four justices who sided with YU included Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett.
