PoliTech Issues Statement To Critics

Last week, student organization PoliTech produced a video featuring Texas Tech University students who were unable to answer select history and current event questions.

The Hub@TTU posted a story featuring the video, “Politically Challenged,” by writing a brief article about the new student group and embedding the link to the video on PoliTech’s YouTube account within the post. The story was soon picked up by other media outlets around Lubbock and eventually other outlets outside the Lubbock area, such as  Total Frat Move.

Since the video was originally released, PoliTech has received criticism for the way the video portrays Texas Tech students. PoliTech has decided to respond to critics with another video.

    Thank you Ms Sarah for providing a clarifying statement and congrats for bringing awareness of PoliTech to the forefront. Perhaps clearance can allow a peer comparison vid at other Texas institutions. Proud of you; like that your chin went up at closure. Warmest regards, Mary
