Senator Bill Cassidy, R-La., has criticized Stanford University for allegedly threatening a graduate student with termination unless he paid union dues to the Stanford Graduate Workers Union, which supports abortion rights and gender transition procedures conflicting with the student’s religious beliefs.
Cassidy raised concerns about coercion and religious freedom in a letter dated September 25, 2025, highlighting tensions over compelled financial support and campus policies.
Stanford acknowledged receiving the letter and said it would review the matter, but provided no additional details.
