That’s how it works, right?
In March, the Rutgers student government voted 25-17 in favor of the decision to invite former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to speak at the university’s commencement ceremony. But after a small group of faculty and students shrieked “war criminal” for weeks, Rice canceled her speech and said she was “simply unwilling to detract from [the ceremony] in any way.”

The protests appear to have been driven largely by a speech-stomping squad of intolerant faculty members. The Rutgers AAUP-AFT faculty union celebrated its “huge win” today:
Student and faculty supporters joined the dance of victory when they learned they would not suffer the untenable burden of listening to Rice speak.
