State Actors... If you are acting on behalf of the state, then yes you are. If you are acting on behalf of a client who is being prosecuted by the state, then no, you aren't. But a state university, that is necessarily funded by appropriation of the legislature, and who Board of Regents are...

Duke... A few things to clarify the standing of a student with regard to legal action under the 1st amendment. CCSU is a state funded University. Under the law of CT, they are funded by the tax dollars, and I'm assuming the Board of Regents (or similar board) is selected by State Officials...

No, you clearly didn't. A business invitee, someone a business owner solicits to come into his property for financial gain, is totally different from a private property owner who "invites" someone onto his property. A business owner can't kick someone off his property for race, national origin...

There is a legal difference between status, such as being a sadist, and action, actually doing what you believe (such as killing a goat). Status is protected, action is not, when dealing with trespassing on private property or with regard to a invitee in a business. As another example, being...

Just for reference so put the issue to rest, a shop owner cannot refuse service in a store or restaurant on the basis of religion. See below: Civil Rights Act of 1964 TITLE II--INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AGAINST DISCRIMINATION IN PLACES OF PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION SEC. 201. (a) All persons shall be...
