CWRU Reproductive Health / Resources
We know the Dobbs Supreme Court decision and resulting Ohio legislation elicited many questions and emotions for our CWRU community. Developed with valuable input from faculty (including many from the health sciences), staff, students and external experts, the CWRU Reproductive Health website serves as resource for information related to reproductive health. As always, the health and safety of our Case Western Reserve community continues to be our highest priority. Further, we support all individuals’ rights to reproductive health. And finally, we are committed to academic freedom and we will continue to uphold our policy on freedom of expression, as we know there are a range of opinions and views on this topic.

Health Emergency Fund
In addition to the existing student emergency fund, the university has created a separate fund to provide resources for health emergency-related travel, lodging and care (including for emergency healthcare not available in Ohio). Postdoctoral scholars and fellows also are eligible to apply for this assistance.
