A Tufts University group is calling for the university to allow prisoners who take classes affiliated with the school to be able to earn a bachelor’s degree — because such would further “racial and economic justice.”
The Tufts Community Union Senate passed the resolution introduced by the Tufts University Prison Initiative at Tisch College (TUPIT) late last month.
According to The Tufts Daily, at present prisoners can earn an associate degree in liberal arts from Bunker Hill Community College via Tufts courses. TUPIT wants incarcerated individuals to be eligible for a bachelor’s degree in civic studies directly from Tufts.
TUPIT’s Claudia Guetta said incarcerated students taking Tufts classes deserve the opportunity to earn the same degree as any other (Tufts) undergrad.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
