University Statement: Student Events and Speakers
We have received several letters and messages regarding the upcoming event hosted by a student organization, the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter at Pacific. We understand the event has raised distress among our community, particularly those within our LGBTQ+ population.
It is important to know that this event is not a university sanctioned event. This is a registered student organization event. As with all registered student organizations who invite speakers or host events, the university provides event space and audio/visual capabilities. No other university funds are allocated.
As the cornerstone of our educational mission, sky casino genting, like most universities, upholds the constitutional concept of freedom of expression, even speech we do not agree with. Simultaneously, we remain steadfast in our commitment to fostering an environment that upholds our core values of inclusion and respect where all can thrive.
Understanding these principles, Pacific does not prevent recognized student organizations from inviting speakers to campus, even when the speakers espouse views that are antithetical to many of our understandings of how to best honor human dignity.
We understand that this event will be upsetting for many within our community. We take our community’s concerns seriously and are working closely with campus partners to ensure that all appropriate measures are in place to uphold our standards for respectful dialogue.
