Why is Holy Cross letting Planned Parenthood speak on campus?

The Mass. Alliance on Teen Pregnancy is scheduled to hold a conference on the campus of Jesuit-run Holy Cross College in Worcester.
Not everything in the conference is bad: there’s apparently going to be a “critical look” at Depo-Provera, for example. But is this enough to justify bringing this event on campus, with several Planned Parenthood representatives and other pro-contraception, pro-abortion speakers — in the middle of the week, when students are likeliest to be on-campus? Does the pro-abortion Governor of this immoral Commonwealth deserve to be getting an award on Holy Cross’ campus? [The conference brochure has more details, if you’re not outraged enough yet.]
The Holy Cross Cardinal Newman Society has the college’s double-talk public statement on the issue: the PR spokesman denies the college’s responsibility for hosting the event, but does acknowledge that Holy Cross “evaluates all requests by individuals and organizations to the College to rent facilities.”
