Facts
A restaurant owned by Gott in Berea across the road from Berea College was frequented by students of the college. The college, for reasons owing to concerns that nowadays are lost to antiquity, amended its rules to forbid the patronage by students of establishments not owned by the college. The penalty for doing so was dismissal from the college. Several students who visited Gott’s restaurant were subsequently dismissed and the number and frequency of student customers diminished considerably subsequent to the dismissals. Gott filed suit against Berea College for an injunction to stop enforcement of the new rule as well as for damages.
