Tent State

from the Macalester Public Knowledge Base

[edit] Goal

"Tent State is a national movement that believes education is a right, not a privilege. TSU opposes tuition hikes, cuts in public funding, and wasteful wars abroad. Tent State, locally, creates an educational alternative where students, faculty, staff, and community can come together, work together, learn together, and practice democracy together. TSU challenges the undemocratic elements of our universities and our society." -Tent State University

[edit] Tent State MN
