Did anyone else see this? Thoughts?

Excellent move. Those speakers should be allowed to speak, and people who are interested should be allowed to hear them. Preventing people from attending goes against the university's goals of academic inquiry.

CMC grad and proud of this response. It's a college that truly values free speech and hearing all different points of view--especially at the Athenaeum, which is such a cornerstone of CMC culture. It was a shame to see a speaker prevented from speaking, even a speaker I would vehemently disagree with. Glad to see the administration respond.

What a wonderful outcome. Glad to see freedom of speech is still valued by universities, even if it is speech some may disagree with.
