In his College Freedom blog, Professor John K. Wilson notes that the Illinois AAUP has sent a letter of concern to the president of DePaul University about the campus’s charging of security fees for a controversial speaker, which I highlighted here. The speaker had been invited by student members of the Conservative Alliance, and the media were banned from the speech.

The letter, which Wilson helped to draft, quotes an AAUP statement that rightly asserts, “‘The institutional control of campus facilities should not be used as a device for censorship.’”
