I am outraged and saddened that certain presumably conscious administrators have permitted a UR facility to be used for dissemination of the rants of Farrakhan. A private university is not an open forum for hate speech of any political persuasion in the name of free speech. Would neo-Nazis and terrorists be given access to campus to state their cases as well?

Clearly students are exposed to hate speech online and elsewhere. However, the University should not facilitate its dissemination.
