Although InterVarsity’s website lists both HRCF and AACF as chapters of the organization, leaders from both groups said that categroaization was inaccurate.
“Our staff is InterVarsity, but they’re not officially HRCF,” said Morton. “They’re just there to help us.” Myung said AACF’s “local autonomy” is not violated by any ties it has with InterVarsity.
The FAS Student Handbook says that “Recognized organizations must maintain their local autonomy.”
“The criterion for local autonomy shall be whether the college organization makes all policy decisions without obligation to any parent organization,” the handbook continues.
HRCF will next meet with Illingworth sometime next semester, Shrewsbury said.
