I don’t know if it is still in vogue but back in the day, fraternity houses across the nation would have cans of beer stocked in their soda machines.

You just had to know which button to push. I’m not sure how they pulled it off since those machines are owned by someone else, but college is the time for creative thinking. Now, college campuses are installing vending machines that dispense morning-after pills.

George Washington University is the latest institution of higher learning to make such an addition, following in the footsteps of Harvard, the University of California (UC) Davis, UC Los Angeles, UC Riverside, Stanford, Columbia, Dartmouth, and George Mason. The group offering the machines, Emergency Contraceptive For Every Campus, or EC4EC for short, writes:

A vending machine on campus can provide a confidential, lower-cost way for students to access EC and other sexual and reproductive health products. A vending machine can help improve access when placed in an accessible private space (such as a gender-neutral bathroom) in a building with extended hours, ideally 24/7.
