The article posted earlier by the Emory professor critical of Wagner made it clear that Wagner refused the protestors’ demand that he circulate an email denouncing Trump. Presumably, we’re all on the same page that Wagner was correct in this decision.
You’re missing something. Criticizing someone else’s speech isn’t censorship; it’s also political speech.
No one at Emory said that Emory students can’t speak in favor of Trump.
Wagner said he’d enforce Emory’s anti-vandalism rules; he didn’t say he’d do so selectively against Trump supporters.
Here’s a right wing news source that understands the vandalism issue:
http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/26708/
"The university said it will examine security footage to see if it can determine who was responsible for the graffiti. If they are students, “they will go through the conduct violation process.”
Hopefully any misconduct will be regarding the vandalism and not the political message."
More on the extent of the Trump graffiti and violation of chalking rules:
“Many of those criticizing the Emory students said the messages were par for the course in a campaign year and that if students can chalk their support for Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, they should be able to chalk support for Trump. Emory is now stressing that it has no plans to take action against anyone for chalking, and that concerns were not because of the views of the person who chalked but because some of the pro-Trump statements were not made in places where chalking is permitted.”

“In a statement sent to Inside Higher Ed, the university said it “has not identified the individual(s) responsible for placing chalking graffiti in various campus locations earlier this week, and no follow-up action is planned related to the incident. It’s important to note that chalkings by students are allowed as a form of expression on the Emory campus but must be limited to certain areas and must not deface campus property – these chalkings did not follow guidelines – that’s the issue regarding violation of policy, not the content.”

Feel free to Google Scholar search the first amendment doctrines of limited public forum (which Trump relies on in ejecting protestors) and nonpublic forum (which prevents me from installing Feel the Bern signs on @kryzsmis front lawn.
Emory has made it clear that chalkings on behalf/against all political candidates (and regarding other issues) will be allowed as long as there’s no defacement and it’s limited to certain areas. This applies to everyone equally.
Trump supporters need to stop playing the victim.
