The Duke Student Government Judiciary heard two cases Tuesday concerning allegations that Duke College Republicans were selective in their membership, ruling in one instance in favor of the club and in the second of the plaintiff.
Both former DCR vice chair Cliff Satell and former DCR Chair Justin Robinette filed complaints that the club violated its charter by removing them from its listserv. Such action would be in violation of a Student Organization Finance Committee bylaw of the DSG Constitution, which defines officially chartered organizations like DCR as one that is “dependent on DSG funding and is not selective in its membership.” The former club members filed the complaints July 16 and September 26, respectively.
In an unanimous ruling, however, the Judiciary found substantial evidence that Satell had expressed to the DCR Executive Board last year that he no longer wished to be a club member.
