[EL] political activity on campus

[Morgan Kousser]

   A Caltech counsel states that as a 501c3, Caltech cannot legally 
allow its property to be used for a card table at which students hand 
out material about a particular political candidate.  She also states 
that students who register to vote in California may lose financial aid 
that they get from entities established in another state.

   Given that we often see political rallies on college campuses, and 
that entities in other states that send checks to students in California 
presumably already know that the students are here, both of these 
propositions seem incorrect to me.  Can people on the list advise me if 
this is correct, either off-list or on, please?

   Thanks,

Morgan

   Perfection . . . in any institution is a dangerous myth; there is only the repeated correction of imperfections.  As long as there is discrimination, there will always be more work to do.
