PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Leaders of a conservative Christian student fellowship suspended from using campus resources at Brown University are wondering whether they were singled out for their beliefs and are pressing school officials to explain the punishment.

Brown University has not publicly explained why it suspended the Reformed University Fellowship, which is allied with the conservative Presbyterian Church in America, as an official student group, except to say the group failed to follow university guidelines.

The fellowship's leaders acknowledge they can't prove their conflict is a religious or cultural clash. But they are suspicious and are trying to publicly shame Brown, which has a reputation as the most liberal school in the Ivy league, into offering a more detailed explanation.
