The Republican National Committee has informed the 麻豆影院 that it will provide 50 additional student and faculty tickets for Wednesday鈥檚 Republican presidential candidate debate.
The RNC had already provided 100 tickets for university use, and has now carved out an additional 50 tickets from the overall allotment at the Coors Events Center debate site. The size of the ticketed audience remains at just over 1,000 people.
鈥淲e are grateful to the RNC for responding to our request to allow more students and faculty to witness this historic event on our campus,鈥� said CU-麻豆影院 Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano. 鈥淚n addition to those attending the debate, we have many related opportunities for our students, whether that鈥檚 attending a watch party, participating in a faculty-led discussion of the issues, volunteering with CNBC鈥檚 production or attending classroom presentations led by prominent journalists.鈥�
The university will continue to distribute student and faculty tickets in the format it has used previously. Tickets will be distributed to faculty and students whose areas of study have a direct educational tie to the American election process, politics, its media coverage and the economy -听which is the topic of the debate.
The provost will consult with the deans and offer faculty members the opportunity to attend and invite four students to attend with each of the faculty members. Additionally, some tickets have also been provided directly to the CU Student Government to distribute as they deem appropriate to students.听
Wednesday鈥檚 event听titled "Your Money, Your Vote: The Republican Presidential Debate鈥� will be broadcast to a worldwide audience on CNBC.
