Thomas' Vision
Here is the current vision of Tent State University at St. Thomas.

UST Tent State University

Vision Statement

Tent State a growing student led movement that challenges the current state of education in America.  Today, higher education has become a necessary tool to succeed economically but has become increasingly unavailable.  Education is a fundamental right and Tent State demands that it be accessible to all regardless financial and social placement.  TSU recognizes unreasonable tuition as means of perpetuating class and race inequality and as a threat to democracy.  Tent State lays the foundation for a movement that works to change the balance of priorities in a nation that consistently under values education and other social rights such as health care, social security, and job training. 

On April 12th we the students and faculty will gather to on campus address these issues through an alternative model of education. This model will challenge hierarchal conventions through the building of a diverse and open student community.  Tent State aims to actually engage students through discussions, teach-ins, student sponsored speakers, and entertainment dealing with the issues surrounding access to higher education, diversity, student power, student life and common concerns.
