SPEECH AND DEBATE FOR ALL.
Speech Quality Over Speaking Quanitity

"It is not the duty of the Chamber to ensure each person will speak an equal number of times, but rather it is the duty of the Chamber to ensure each person gets the equal opportunity to speak on a variety of bills."

"These choices from our own systemic bias will bleed into how we as debaters view either side of the motion, how we choose characterization of stakeholders, and ultimately how we influence the people who listen to us. To speak and be heard is a powerful privilege, so please do use it with the utmost care."

"As the speech and debate community watches artificial intelligence branch into more and more aspects of life, let’s preserve the best parts of extemp — the originality, the personality, and the integrity of speakers by keeping it out of our competitions."
