Students are George Washington University, based in Washington, D.C., are typically liberal and not conservative by any stretch of the imagination. This past week, the university’s College Democrats pushed a fundraising event for the pro-abortion organization Planned Parenthood on their college campus.

The university’s student government guidelines do not explicitly bar student groups from using student government funds for fundraising for non-university causes and candidates, but it does state that these funds can’t be used “as a direct monetary or in-kind contribution to a candidate seeking elected office in an off-campus election.”

A source told Campus Reform that the fundraiser raised $4,000 for Planned Parenthood.
