Hebrew Union College (HUC), a Reform Jewish seminary, is suing the state of Ohio, alleging a lawsuit brought by the state’s Attorney General violates its First Amendment rights. The dispute stems from the state’s claim that HUC violated Ohio’s nonprofit law when it ceased offering degree-granting programs at its Cincinnati campus. Ohio alleges this closure was a misuse of charitable funds. HUC maintains the decision to restructure its academic programs is protected religious practice and academic freedom. This lawsuit represents the latest development in an ongoing conflict between the seminary and the Ohio Attorney General’s office. The college argues the state is unduly interfering with its internal governance and religious mission. The case is expected to raise questions about the balance between state oversight of nonprofits and religious freedom.
