(CNSNews.com) - Administrators at Kent State University in Ohio have refused to recognize a Second Amendment club as an official student group, a conservative organization claimed Friday.

Students organized the group with the assistance of the Leadership Institute's Campus Leadership Program, which helps start and maintain conservative groups at colleges and universities.

Officials at Kent State's Office of Campus Life refused to consider the Second Amendment Club's application for recognition, said student Luke Adams, who founded the club this past fall.

"We asked Kent State to recognize our Second Amendment group, and they treated us like second-class citizens," Adams said.

The club was to educate students about responsible and safe gun use through education and events, such as trips to shooting ranges.

Kent State recognizes several liberal groups, including the Kent State Anti-War Coalition, Students Eliminating Environmental Destruction and the Coalition for a Humane and New Global Economy.
