Judge rules UW must support student church group

A federal judge has banned the University of Wisconsin-Madison from denying student groups money for religious activities, including prayer, worship and proselytizing.

But U.S. Judge John Shabaz also denied The Roman Catholic Foundation's request to force the school to fully fund its 2007-08 school year request and retroactively cover its 2006-07 request.

The school and the foundation have been locked in an ongoing legal battle over student fees.
