SEATTLE (AP) - More than 1,000 Seattle University students, alumni and faculty members are objecting to the school president’s decision to remove Planned Parenthood from an online list of health-care resources.
The Seattle Times reports a group of about 30 students gathered outside the private Jesuit school’s Casey Building to protest Monday afternoon.
The group also delivered a letter - signed by more than 1,000 staff and students as of Monday afternoon - to Sundborg to voice their concerns with his choice, which he says he made late last month based on Catholic beliefs.
