University of Texas at Arlington has rescinded a $28,600 security fee charge to the conservative student group Turning Point USA after the public institution received a legal warning letter from Alliance Defending Freedom.
At issue were two events hosted by TPUSA during the school year: one with a former Texas state House Candidate in November and another discussing how to combat human trafficking in March.
The university subsequently sent the student group two bills totaling $28,600 for security for the two events.
Carlos Turcios, vice president of TPUSA at University of Texas at Arlington, said he was shocked by the bills.
