Conservative group denied registered student status
Drake University student senate votes to deny Turning Point USA chapter
On Oct. 31, Drake University’s student senate voted to deny a conservative group as a registered student organization.
The group was Turning Point USA, which according to their website “has embarked on a mission to build the most organized, active, and powerful conservative grassroots activist network on high school and college campuses across the country.”
This is now the second time the group has been denied RSO status. The group was denied the first time because of “privacy concerns, stances on social media and receiving conflicting information from the group.”
The senate made the decision to move to an executive session, a private meeting in which only the senate is in attendance, after alleged interference from another group on campus.
An executive session means that the reasoning behind the vote wasn’t published and neither was what senators voted which way. Conservative campus groups claim that this is emblematic of a larger issue of Drake silencing conservative voices.
The group protesting, Drake Comrades, is now suspended while they are under investigation for their conduct.
More updates to come as the investigation continues and as conservative groups plan to respond.
Hi there everyone, it’s my first pay a visit at this web page, and piece of writing is genuinely fruitful for me, keep up posting these articles.
An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a co-worker who was conducting a little homework on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast due to the fact that I discovered it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending time to discuss this topic here on your website.
The senate recognizes only those organizations whose politics it agrees with.
Does the senate wish to challenge that idea? Fine. Provide the rationale for refusing to recognize TPUSA. If the senate wants to keep its proceedings and reasonings in dark secrecy, they don’t deserve any benefit of the doubt. They do not, in short, deserve to be trusted.
I know this site provides quality depending articles and other stuff, is there any other site which presents such information in quality?
