They were also away of the right to religion, and carefully considered that when making their decision.
As has been discussed in this thread previously, the covenant is damaging to the students of that school. It has nothing to do with their religion. Why should they recognise law degrees from a school that violates the right to equality?

TWU has already been through this:

It doesn't restrict their (the pupil's) Charter rights because the Charter only guarantees certain political rights to Canadian citizens and civil rights of everyone in Canada
from the policies and
actions of all areas and levels
of government (yes, that was a copy and paste).
It's not unlike when people on here get in trouble from moderators and then claim that they have a freedom of speech. If someone is asking for optional membership into private a club or organization, it is not a Charter issue. Terms and conditions for membership are normal.
Not to mention that the Charter (section 29) guarantees the rights of religious schools in Canada.
