FROM INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION: “Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center canceled a talk by a retired doctor who advocates for a woman’s right to receive a third-trimester abortion, the conservative Texas Scorecard website reported. Shelley Sella, whose website describes her as “the first woman to openly practice third-trimester abortion care in the U.S.,” was set to speak at the institution last Monday. The Health Sciences Center didn’t return Inside Higher Ed’s requests for comment Thursday on who within the institution decided to nix the speech, but the Health Sciences Center sent a statement to the Scorecard saying the center “evaluated the request and determined that it is not in the best interest of the university to host this event on campus.”
