Gregory Johnsen Hastings Tribune A survey of students and faculty at Hastings College this week will help gauge how the campus feels about the college providing free condoms to students. The issue has sparked lively debate across campus, drawing strong views from both sides.
Supporters argue that it is a health and safety issue.
Opponents claim it is immoral and that such a policy could tarnish the college's image. A similar issue that would have permitted the distribution of condoms on campus was raised about 10 years ago. At that time the HC Board of Trustees tabled the matter indefinitely. It hasn't been discussed since. Colo. They initiated the issue this semester as a group assignment for a persuasion class.
