Who We Are

The Texas Orator is a multi-partisan, peer-reviewed political publication that is part of the Associated Collegiate Press. We value thorough analysis in our articles and strive to protect the ideals of free speech and unhindered access to information on campus and nationwide. We seek to keep the student body informed of the implications of ever-changing political climates, both domestically and abroad, from a range of voices and perspectives.

We have been indexed as scholarly literature by the UT Libraries and by UT Undergraduate Studies.

Disclaimer: The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in these articles, editorials, and creative pieces are solely those of individual authors or guest authors and do not necessarily reflect the official endorsement of The Texas Orator, its affiliates, or its contributors.
