Chuck, of You Big Mouth, You! has pointed me to a response he received from the Rutgers administration in response to (one hopes) widespread criticism over their hosting of a conference for the International Solidarity Movement I posted about here.
Refreshing is the University President's personal statement of his distaste for the group and their goals. Not surprising is the bottom line, however, that the university doesn't really have any basis for cancelling the event. With the group being a recognized Rutgers group, as long as all their i's are dotted and their t's crossed, I'm not sure what the University can do about it.
Sounds like an opportunity for counter-protest and shining a spotlight on the group's hateful, hypocritical message.
