Ben Martin, the Christian student at the centre of the Exeter Christian Union row, has rejected the Independent Adjudication into the case as "unbalanced and selective".
The student will be seeking a Judicial Review in the High Court.
Mark Shaw QC, the independent adjudicator appointed by Exeter University slammed into the Constitution of Exeter CU because it restricted the membership to Christians, despite the fact its meetings were open to everyone – of all faiths and none.
He held it discriminatory that the CU should be run by Christians and held that the Guild policies in forcing the CU to be led by members of other faiths was "laudable".
Last year, the Student Guild forced the Exeter Christian Union to change its name to Exeter 'Evangelical' Christian Union following one complaint in a 50 year period by a student. The Guild also froze the CU’s bank account and wrote to them banning them from holding or advertising events on Guild premises.
On 5 January, Ben Martin, a member of the Christian Union filed papers at the High Court asking for a Judicial Review of the Guild's actions under the Human Rights Act. He was subsequently informed that the University would require the CU to go through an informal internal adjudication procedure before any external procedure could be followed.
First, the University tried to impose a leading lawyer with strong connections to the National Union of Students on the CU as adjudicator. The process was then delayed to after Easter when CU members would be revising or sitting exams.
Following complaints, the University brought in another barrister, this time a QC, Mark Shaw.
Ben Martin said: "The University established an internal appeals process to resolve the dispute and the CU engaged with the process in full seeking a non judicial resolution of the dispute.
