BUTTE â Some faculty and staff at Montana Tech in Butte are making claims that the recent approval of a conservative student group called Turning Point USA could lead to intimidation and threats against professors and others on campus.
âThis group is known for affiliating with racist and neo-Nazi and other alt-right groups,â said Montana Tech Professor Pat Munday.
Turning Point USAâs website says it promotes principles of limited government, capitalism and freedom on campus. Some Montana Tech staff says it intimidates liberal professors by putting them on a national watch list.
