Ave Maria Law School invokes ministerial exception in wrongfultermination suit

[stevesan at umich.edu]

Didn't the Court reject a similar sort of expressive association argument in Rumsfeld v. FAIR, the military recruiters case?  I seem to recall it said that an asserted right by a law school not to be forced to associate with people or ideas it found disagreeable was simply too attenuated from the primary purpose of the First Amendment in the higher education context: to protect a robust marketplace of ideas.
