Purdue University to offer free tampons, pads in bathrooms

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Purdue University will offer free tampons and other feminine hygiene products in campus bathrooms in response to student advocates who have been pushing for the move for three years.

Purdue President Mitch Daniels on Thursday credited the faculty-led University Senate, a faculty-led body, for proposing a resolution that described feminine hygiene products as a basic necessity that should be in campus restrooms free of charge.

The measure was set to be voted on later this month, but Daniels obtained permission from the senate to go ahead and implement it.

It’s not yet clear when the public university will stock its West Lafayette campus bathrooms with free products.

Sorry, but with all the trash going on in Washington the AP spends time reporting THIS?! That explains why the media has such a low approval rating. We need a conservative Woodward and Bernstein to investigate Clinton and Pelosi instead of Purdue supplying female products free of charge. In my day you carried an emergency product or a quarter. And we wonder why tuition keeps going up. smh

Socialism/communism is in vogue these days. It’s a result of what is taught in the government indoctrination centers (commonly called the public schools and universities)!!!
