A Queens College student is accusing the school of discrimination for refusing to give her pro-life group official club status, a new federal lawsuit charges.

Official clubs on campus are afforded certain privileges such as funding, office space and a staff adviser.

Plaintiff Norvilia Etienne says the school won’t give her an explanation for the rejection of her Queens College Students for Life group. She and other students pay more than $160 in mandatory student-activity fees per semester for more than 90 other clubs.

Etienne asserts in her Brooklyn federal suit that she is left to funding “the speech of groups that support abortion but [is] denied access to this same funding to share [her] own opposing message.’’

A rep for the college said it is reviewing its decision-making process.
