Usually kids can get bc pills from the health center, but if they don't have to make an appointment, and it's a weekend or whatever, it's good for girls to have that option. Most kids in college are legal adults, and I don't think parents have much say in what they should or shouldn't be given. It bothers me more that college kids are able to get prescriptions for drugs like Valium.
Seems strange to me. The vending machine is in the student health center, where you have to check in to get access to it anyway to keep out random people on the street, so why bother with the vending system? Why not just stock them behind the health desk and have them available upon request?
Just seems like an unnecessary mechanism to put in.

Because I'd assume you have to ask for it, and some people would be a bit squeamish about that.

Hm, then maybe just on a shelf inside the health center and you have to buy it like you'd buy a bottle of tylenol.
I appreciate that it's an awkward situation and I think women should be able to buy Plan B without feeling shamed or hassled (like a number of pharmacists seem keen to do), but there is a point where I feel like saying grow up already. You're an adult and you participated in adult activities and now you are doing the responsible adult thing by making sure an unwanted pregnancy is prevented. So the person running the health center desk knows you had sex, I think the embarrassment shouldn't trump making responsible health decisions.

The whole purpose of them doing it this way is so that they don't have to ask for it, I assume.
I was under the impression and I may be wrong but they no longer offer the Plan B pill over the counter that you had to go to a doctor to get it. I will serch for a link but Im pretty sure I heard this recently.
