University of Virginia Library

Motivations

"We think that the claim that the Weekly is
'political and propagandistic' while crediting
the Law Weekly, the Journal of International
Law, the Cavalier Daily, and the Student
Council itself with 'objectivity' is, to put it
mildly, bullshit!

"The motivation is clear. A publication
which doesn't conform to the established
political viewpoints is being censored. If the
O&P's proposal is passed the University
community will be denied any viewpoints other
than those acceptable to the members of the
Student Council."

Three other organizations were also denied
funds. The Law School Admissions Council and
the Legal Assistance Society, both making their
first request to Council, were refused support.
A group proposing to provide loans for
abortions, the Population Funds Committee,
was denied their request for funds.
