...University policy that allows students to opt out of paying the portion of their health services fee that funds elective abortions. The University Health Services (UHS) fee policy, as specified in the 2002-2003 Guide to UHS. allows students who send a note explaining their “strong moral objections to sharing the cost of elective abortions” to receive a $1.09 refund.

But some areas of the Core, like Moral Reasoning, have rarely met those numbers, because the Core office just can’t get enough faculty to agree to teach Core classes. If FAS’ decentralized bureaucracy can’t get professors to follow through on universally supported initiatives, it’s unlikely faculty will...
