EMU Student Government Makes Funding About-Face

easternecho.com

Eastern Michigan University Student Government has decided to fund the recent campus visit of the traveling "Genocide Awareness Project" exhibit. 

EMU Students for Life had requested about $5,000 to help support the exhibit, which uses graphic photos to equate abortion with genocide. 

The request was originally declined, but after a review of student government procedures for funding student organizations prompted by a lawsuit, EMU Student Government decided to provide the funding. 

The "Genocide Awareness Project" exhibit tours the country visiting college campuses.  It stopped at Eastern April 11th and 12th.
