The Wesleyan Democratic Socialists (WesDS) secured a commitment from the university after collecting over 700 signatures on a petition.

“$ 500 to $ 700 is a huge cost for students who are currently on a $ 14 campus, which cost $ 15 to $ 700 is huge,” says Tjeltveit.
Next year, the Davison Health Center of the university will provide students with emergency contraceptives, including PLAN B and Ella, after consulting with nurses.
In addition, the university provides financial support for abortion services after applying for insurance.
