One of the greatest living people barred from US university.
Desmond Tutu, Persona Non Grata
"Last week’s visit by Iran’s president to Columbia University symbolized to many the openness of American higher education to hearing controversial ideas and individuals. An incident coming to light at the University of St. Thomas, in Minnesota, illustrates that some speakers are denied campus platforms. In this case, the would-be speaker isn’t a Holocaust denier. Nor does he run a government that routinely denies basic civil rights to scholars, journalists or gay people.
"The speaker barred at St. Thomas won the Nobel Peace Prize."
Wow. The power of some lobbies.
