From The Lexington Herald-Leader: The Kentucky Supreme Court has struck down the legislature's 2006 attempt to give $11 million in state funds to a private religious university for a pharmacy program, but it did so without restricting other kinds of state aid that flow to religious colleges. The court's decision focused on the Baptist-affiliated University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, which wanted $10 million to build a pharmacy school and $1 million to start a pharmacy scholarship program. Kentucky's Constitution prohibits state money from going to a "church, sectarian or denominational school," the court ruled.
