In the past, some University of Wisconsin campuses have promoted EC to students, urging them to “prepare” by stocking up on it. In 2008, three colleges have censored the ad — the Marquette University Tribune, the UW-La Crosse Racquet and the UW-Stout Stoutonia. Read a 2008 blog post from Jill Stanek here. And for those who are wondering, the Badger Herald is not exactly a pro-life holdout (read a March 7, 2011 editorial board position defending taxpayer-funded birth control here).Details at Pro-Life Wisconsin
Guess who did run the ad this, Madison's own Badger Herald AND Daily Cardinal.
One word for Marquette's actions; pathetic.
Update: It is not known if Marquette will refuse the ad this year - but they did refuse in 2008.
