If the controversial “H-Bomb” magazine is to appear on the Harvard University campus anytime soon, it will have to raise money outside of university funds, according to a recent decision by administrators. Harvard College, the undergraduate school at Harvard University, released a statement saying the school will not provide funding to the publication.

The magazine still retains the initial approval from Harvard’s Committee on College Life it received in early February, but no date is set for the first issue to be printed.

“H-Bomb” would offer fiction, art and sex advice among other things, as well as nude photographs of Harvard students. The magazine was originally approved by Harvard’s Committee on College Life Feb. 10, but the university released a statement shortly afterward, stating the magazine would not be awarded any funding whatsoever from Harvard College.

The magazine’s creators, Katharina C. Baldegg and Camilla H. Hrdy, released a statement prior to the university’s decision to prohibit the magazine, explaining the magazine to be an “open-minded, comprehensive, sometimes irreverent, often playful, always entertaining” way to address “this crucial topic” and to provide a much-needed forum to talk openly about sex on campus.

“[‘H-Bomb’] will provide a comfortable, relaxed discussion that doesn’t hold back and puts a lighter spin on something that shouldn’t be a restricted or delicate topic at Harvard,” the students said in a written statement.

The university has released two statements regarding their shifting stance on “H-Bomb,” the first of which described how the university originally endorsed it based on a student proposal. According to a press release, the committee “described the plan content as art and text dealing with ‘sex and the issues surrounding sex for men and women of all sexual orientations and tastes.'”

In the most recent statement, the university addressed the media scrutiny focused on the magazine and the university. In this statement, Harvard noted there was “much misunderstanding” about the proposed student organization on campus.

“The proposal to publish a magazine called ‘H-Bomb’ was approved by the Committee on College Life based on the understanding that it would not include material that would be considered ‘pornographic,'” the latest statement from Harvard University said.

The most recent statement also said the committee that originally approved “H-Bomb” will “be reviewing the proposal with the students to make sure that there is a clear understand that the organization will not be involved with the dissemination of pornographic material,” and stressed that no funding from Harvard will be provided for publication of “H-Bomb.”

Robert Mitchell, director of communications of Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University, said the approval that was given out by the committee has not yet changed. “The Committee on College Life has not re-met and don’t plan to at this time,” he said. “But then again, who knows what will happen.”

The magazine is not the first of its kind; similar publications are in circulation at Vassar College and Swarthmore College. According to The New York Times, the Harvard committee reviewed copies of Vassar’s publication, called “Squirm,” before granting “H-Bomb” approval.

“Squirm” offers content of a sexual nature along with photos of nude Vassar students.
