Sex discrimination at religious schools, contraception vending machines: 5 Things podcast

A big issue right now in this process is that vending machines are not being distributed equitably. The implementation of the machines, as I mentioned, it's completely student led. And it often does take months if not years of activism, which does mean that they tend to exist on campuses that have bigger student populations and are wealthier. Which is why we see schools like Stanford, Dartmouth, Harvard, and other elite schools have the machines. Although there are state schools that also have machines like Cal State Northridge and Purdue for example, it's still not equal even within these public flagship schools, again, because it does take just months or years of student-led efforts to make this happen. For example, the University of Washington has three campuses in the state, and currently, a vending machine is present at the Seattle campus, which is actually the only campus of the three that does have a health clinic, while the other two don't and also don't have a vending machine. -- USA Today
