No problem with that. But if someone has been invited to speak, then let the person speak, regardless of who it is. The University should provide for that or not allow the person to come at all - again, whomever it is.

"Universities" claim "Diversity". Students on the other hand...
Can't you remember what it was like when you were collage age? That incredible certainty that your views are unequivocally superior to anyone else’s combined with the youthful vigor and the certainty that you can change the world to meet your views if you can just get your message out there? That age does not lend itself well to tolerance of opposing viewpoints. Wrong MUST be righted, truth MUST win out over lies, ahhh I'm not sure if I miss those days or not....
