Tulane University prides itself on intellectual rigor and fostering open debate through the free exchange of ideas. But the administration seems to undermine these values with the approval of the Turning Point USA chapter on campus. Tulane students span the political spectrum, and disagreement is not only inevitable but healthy in an academic setting. By recognizing TPUSA, Tulane has granted what amounts to a political action committee access to campus resources, funding and legitimacy. There have been political student groups before, like Tulane Right to Life, Tulane College Democrats and Students Supporting Israel at Tulane.
