Campaigning for Democrats with taxpayer resources

UVA DEAN FUNDRAISING/CAMPAIGNING FOR DEMOCRATS ON UNIVERSITY GROUNDS: Rob Schilling has been following an important story involving a dean at the University of Virginia using her on-campus residence (UVA property) to campaign for Democrats.  University officials say its OK because they lease the property to the Dean, so University policy does not apply.  Schilling asks the pertinent question, “[W]ould UVa interpret Dean Fontaine’s lease to permit her hosting an event that discriminates on the basis of race, gender, or religion? If not, why not? University policy also prohibits these forms of discrimination.”  Somehow I think University policy would apply in that instance, don’t you?  Check out the whole article.
