On the other hand, say someone wants to form a group for white students only. They ask the university to provide them funding. Should the university give them money? They don't need support from the university. They can go raise their own funds and rent a meeting room.

But would you support tax payers providing the KKK with funding? Because that was more the issue in this case.

I think the university doesn't prohibit students from forming bible study groups or whatever. They just don't provide free meeting rooms to groups that are not open to all students. There is a huge difference between the university dedicating resources to a group and a group not being allowed to exist.

It wouldn't be an issue since if I wanted to make an organization like that I wouldn't make a school club.

It is allowed and has never been a problem. Though, there have been problems lately with feminists disrupting lectures (mostly in Canada). In any case, the issue is whether or not the college should endorse groups like that and give them funding. My answer would be that schools shouldn't have to fund them. It may still be in the best interest of schools to fund them. Think of it this way. The school is allowing people to use its facilities to host an event. If the event is free and open to all students, then the school is allowing them to use the room for free. If it is a private event, then they should have to rent the space like everyone else.
