1Opinion of the Court
MANION, Circuit Judge.
This is the fifth time this case is before this court. 1 At issue in this appeal is the district court’s award of attorneys’ fees and costs to the Plaintiff-Appellees, students (the “Students”) in the University of Wisconsin System (the “University”). 2 The district court awarded the Students these fees and costs in litigation challenging the funding of certain groups by the University as violative of the Students’ constitutional rights. Because the Students prevailed in part, we hold that the district court did not err in its award and we affirm its decision.
