The student government at a Catholic school in Queens, New York denied their classmates the opportunity to start a Turning Point USA chapter on campus last November.
St. John’s University’s student leaders shot down an application from TPUSA to be officially recognized as a club, following a first a school spokesperson confirmed Wednesday morning. The first time was in 2021.
“At St. John’s University, the sole authority to approve or deny new student organizations rests solely with Student Government, Inc. (SGI),” Brian Browne told Fox News Digital. “The four-round Power to Organize process aims to introduce or revitalize clubs/organizations to the St. John’s Campus.”
He said that during the fall semester, only four of 19 proposed organizations were approved by the SGI.
“St. John’s students interested in Turning Point USA are encouraged to reapply to SGI in the Spring or pursue other existing alternatives for department-sponsored organizational support,” he said.
