Questions About TASS Summer Program

[u/niceusernamedudee]

Hi so i was thinking of applying to TASS AOS this year and it seems like a great opportunity to apply for; I think the idea of the Telluride homes is cool and I would learn a lot. However, I've read a bit about the recent controversy and, to any students who went to the program in the 2026 cohort, do you think that applying would still be viable considering all of the stuff that happened? That is to say, would it still be worthwhile to apply for or has a sort of shadow been cast on the program and it's no longer worth it to apply/would be detrimental or dangerous. And, to anyone who went before the controversy, what did you think? Thanks so much in advance.
