Honestly surprised it's only 43% of people think colleges have the right to ban extreme speakers.
feminism critic Suzanne Venker, former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde and Narendra Modi, now the Indian prime minister.
I can understand that some people don't share views of these speakers, but to call them extreme and ban them? To me this is strange.
Now it is entirely clear to me that if a high profile speaker comes, it is not that they are merely being reimbursed for travel expenses with a few extravagances, nice dinners.. maybe a meaningless honorary certificate.
Being politically controversial and then cashing in on the speech circuit is now an openly discussed career plan. Paying for the high profile but educationally useless speeches is one way that even average colleges are moving from public/educational spaces into transaction centers for prestige and accolades.
If you rephrase the question to be clear that no one is being payed for their presence, then I could care less who shows up to speak of their own volition.
But all of those choices are now in a bundled product where you must pay the 4 year sticker price, so what you don't like will need to be handled by their ever growing PR-agency, oops I really meant to say administration..
