My opinion of my alma mater, Northwestern, mirrors your opinion of UofM. My kids and my money will go elsewhere.

I don't know about UM, but Northwestern gives a "personal survival pack" to each student, either every quarter or every year (not sure which). The "personal survival pack" contains three condoms, some K-Y jelly, and a piece of candy "to represent the fact that some students choose abstinence". (Why don't they include a water pistol and a soap bubble toy, to complete the patronizing insult?) I guess the implication is that "personal survival" at Northwestern requires promiscuity, and that abstinence is immature behavior?

The administration regards this as "forward-looking" and proactive behavior on their part.

I wouldn't buy condoms for my own kids, why should I give money to Northwestern to buy them for other peoples' kids???

Dang, the "personal survival" pack when I went to Michigan in the 80s included things like soap, deodorent, and toothpaste. Which, come to think of it, are also useful, if you wanted to get laid.

So, I ended up dating the only leftist who didn't believe in premarital sex. Go fig.
