Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : The university's attorney, Eric S. Baxter of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, argued in the U.S. Supreme Court application that if the court fails to stay the injunction "the nation's leading Jewish university will be forced to give official recognition to a student organization in violation of its sincere religious beliefs and Torah values.""This is an unprecedented intrusion into the autonomy of a religious organization and a gross violation of the First Amendment," Baxter wrote.
49% : In its new term beginning in October, the court will hear 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, which deals with a Christian web designer in Colorado who refuses to create wedding websites for same-sex couples because of her religious beliefs.
47% :Last year the court ruled that Philadelphia violated the First Amendment when it refused to contract with a Catholic agency for foster care services because the organization does not place children with same-sex couples.
45% : Yeshiva's Director of Tax and Compliance Alan Kruger, Kotler wrote, "testified that Yeshiva registered as an educational corporation and not a religious corporation because 'it would be difficult' to produce documents showing entitlement to the latter exemption."
40% : The university asked the U.S. Supreme Court to pause a lower court ruling that determined its refusal to recognize the YU Pride Alliance violated the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL) that forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
