Students for Life at Kutztown University

Summary

In 2017, Students for Life at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania participated in National Pro-Life Chalk Day by chalking life-affirming messages on various sidewalks on campus. But University officials erased these messages based on University guidelines that ban students from advertising events or groups that are incompatible with the University’s nondiscrimination statement. In March 2017, ADF sent a demand letter to the University, and less than three weeks later, the University notified ADF that it was amending the problematic policy.
