Duquesne and Planned Parenthood

We've had discussion on this blog at various times and in various contexts regarding Catholic Universities and their sponsorship of certain speakers and events.  The New York Times reported this morning that a Pittsburgh public radio station stopped running messages from Planned Parenthood becuase Duquesne University, the licence holder of the radio, determined that Planned Parenthood was "not aligned with our Catholic identity."  The article appears here.

From the article, it appears that Duquesne founded the public radio station 58 years ago.  During a pledge drive, the following message was run: "Support for DUQ comes from Planned Parenthood, providing comprehensive sexuality education, including lessons on abstinence.  Planned Parenthood: Their mission is prevention."

Leave aside whether the message is an accurate statement of Planned Parenthood's mission, since that does not appear to be the issue.  Rather, the question raised is "whether the station's news content is independent and, ultimately, whether the station should separate itself from Duquesne."  The station has received a significant number of calls and e-mails objecting to its decision to stop running the ads and questioning its "editorial integrity."

I'm interested in the views of others on this.  It seems to me that the debate about what kind of speakers a Catholic university should have on campus and/or should honor is different from the question of what content is appropriate for a public radio station as to which the Catholic university is a licence holder.  I'm not making a statement about how either should be resolved (although I confess my general leaning is always in favor of more speech rather than less), but I do think they are different questions and I tend to think there should be less control exercised over a public radio station than in other situations.
