New CSL policy excludes religious students
By Charles Skold and Alexandra Nesbeda | February 20The Committee on Student Life’s recent decision limits and excludes religious expression at Tufts. The new policy, announced in an op-ed in The Tufts Daily on Feb. 6, prohibits religious student groups from selecting their religious leaders using the religious beliefs the group promotes. We commend the CSL for trying to foster “openness and inclusion” for all student organizations, but their decision undermines this value by excluding some religious Tufts students who wish to organize on campus in a way they see as authentic to their religious convictions.
