“Mr. Pence has been a good friend to the University over many years, and is a Christian brother whose life and values have exemplified what we strive to instill in our graduates.'
This May, Vice President Mike Pence is set to deliver two commencement addresses, but students at Taylor University are attempting to get his invitation rescinded.
The school praised Pence for his work as governor of Indiana, by expanding school choice and creating the first state-funded pre-Kindergarten plan in the state’s history. In response to the announcement, a Change.org petition was created and gathered more than 150 signatures in two hours. It encouraged people to sign and also contact the university by phone to ask that the Vice President’s invitation be rescinded.
The weekend before Taylor University’s graduation, Pence is scheduled to speak in Lynchburg, Virginia, to Liberty University’s graduating class. Both Taylor University and Liberty University are Christian universities who have praised Pence for his commitment to his faith.
