Georgetown isn't keeping anyone from anything. If the students want to opt into the preferred plan that covers prescription drugs they are perfectly free to do so, if they can afford it.
Students are not offered the Aetna plan that covers contraception. They are offered only one plan from the university and BC isn't covered. They only cover it for staff. You, obviously, didn't watch Sandra Fluke's testimony at all.
They can get the preferred plan if they want it, Aetna does business with all sorts of people, not just Goergetown.
Seriously, I don't care if Georgetown offers insurance or not, I don't care what it covers if they do, the truth doesn't change, the students can still get insurance that covers birth control if they want it, or they can go to Walmart and get it for $9.
By the way, according to this Goergetown does cover prescriptions. Being that birth control is a Tier 3 drug all the student has to do is fork over a $45 copay every 4 weeks and she can get her birth control pills from any covered pharmacy.

You might want to rethink your insistance that Fluke isn't asking other people to pay for her birth control.
Fluke claimed that paying for her birth control during her college years would equal a whole summer's salary. What kind of crap job is she doing in summer months that she can't afford the cheap pills? She is an activist and everything she said is meant to convince people there is some sort of crisis. She, and the Dems, would like everyone to forget that her demands are not constitutional and just let the gubmint tell people what to do.
We all know the real crisis is that the asthma inhalers have been taken off store shelves. Can't buy otc asthma rescue inhalers anymore. The prescription ones don't work as well since they changed them. But, who cares if millions can't breathe and can't find relief anymore, concern yourself with whether Fluke can afford to have protected sex or not.
