MU Students Place 2nd at Debate Tournament

Millersville University hosted this year's annual Frederick Douglass Institute Collaborative Research and Creative Arts Conference and Debate during the spring semester. Isabel S. Pascal and Stuart W. Burton from Millersville placed second in the debate tournament.

The conference took place in the Student Memorial Center and the McNairy Library. Students from across the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education were competitively chosen to present their outstanding papers, while Millersville faculty attended and moderated various student panels.

The debate tournament was held in McComsey Hall. Four teams of Millersville students were selected to participate in the debate tournament:

• Cassidy McNew & Griffin Leib
• Isabel S. Pascal & Stuart W. Burton
• River Hower & Kaylynn Keah-tigh
• Kimberly Diaz & Donte Kent

Students debated whether the Pennsylvania state government should or should not implement "school choice," in other words, whether taxpayer dollars should be used to fund only public schools or include private schools in receiving aid.
