wait, am I just imaginining this? No, it's pretty solid in my memory. Somewhere, afaicr, there's a legal argument or decision that universities have a unique academic responsibility to students and that even if the Uni were paid for by the government, not making room for Alex Jones speak is not blocking the first amend, free speech rights of Alex Jones. Quality of work and uniqueness of work could easily be seen as metrics with which to make the decisions about who is invited, and that would bar Peterson for many decisionmakers, regardless of how much he wants to survive his own depression and help young men.
but what if a student group invites the speaker? it's also true that a uni is allowed to observe and that if a uni in the moment determines hate-filled rhetoric is so intense that a riot against the speaker could break out, a Uni, even if govt funded, could legally interrupt the speaker.
I dug around in legal stuff on this before.
Many Unis will not understand their ability, and it's obnoxious.
