Publicly funded University.

Either they allow anyone to speak or no one to speak. No in between.

This.

I suspected this is what he was getting at and that he didn't really understand the issue involved. I was right in my suspicion.

A&Ms rule is that a student organization has to host you. If you are affiliated with a student group, they invite you to speak. Otherwise, you have no purpose speaking here because there isn't anyone that wants to listen. That makes perfect sense and doesn't infringe on anyone's rights.

That's a perfectly fine opinion to have but it has nothing to do with the first amendment

University speakers is not a first amendment issue no matter how hard either side tries to make it out to be

That's not how it works...Spencer can stand on any corner and spew his bile, universities shouldn't be giving him a platform - not saying we should force universities not to do this but they, their administration should be more responsible and exercise some oversight.
