...recently told The Crimson: “I don’t feel that people should have to spend their hard earned money on something that they oppose.” But if the University were to follow that logic, students would be allowed to opt out of myriad policies with which they feel moral conflict. Those against modern medical practices could opt out of the health services fee entirely. Vegetarian students would be allowed to abstain from portions of their meal plan fees, ensuring that their hard earned dollars were not going towards the purchase of meat. These abstentions...

Some part of that money goes to the employee’s savings account, and from there it’s spent in a myriad of ways, depending on the diversity of the bank’s assets. Money travels from hand to hand, and a dollar spent today in rural Iowa could be involved tomorrow on a large Taiwanese company’s accounting sheets. Since the Sudanese government is involved in the global...
