Vanguard Isn’t a Christian University

Wednesday, December 10, 2025

Vanguard University recently decided that Christian students who care enough about America to advocate for its founding principles must now do so “underground.” They banned official student groups tied to “political advocacy initiatives,” which just happened to remove Turning Point USA’s recognized status on campus. Read that carefully: a school that calls itself Christian has determined that young believers applying their faith to civic engagement is now unwelcome. And that begs the obvious question: at what point does a Christian college stop being one?
