SGB reverses decision, gives Students for Life funding

The board had previously denied Students for Life, a group that advocates for anti-abortion issues, the $1,515 it requested to attend the March for Life in Washington, D.C. Board member and president-elect Charlie Shull said at the time that the group was “proselytizing” for its cause rather than lobbying.

Shull said in an e-mail today that the board re-raised the request in a planning session it held this eventing and “analyzed proselytizing juxtaposed with the group’s purpose, request and allocations policy.”
