Justice Scalia to Speak at Wesleyan

[johnwesley]

<p>the much anticipated day has arrived. There will be ample demonstrations of free speech; a lot has been generated already, ranging from various radical points of light, to my favorite conservative alum, Mytheos Holt (for whom, unfortunately, I can’t give the link, due to the TOA.)</p>

<p>Then, there is this from Dean Culliton:

I wanted to follow up with you after reading your Wespeaks in yesterday’s Argus and prior to Justice Scalia’s visit to campus. I realize that as a collective you are opposed to his visit and may be planning to participate in some forms of protest. As you are likely aware, Wesleyan has a Disruption Policy which outlines what is expected by the University. As a university, we have an expectation that people will not be obstructed from moving freely about campus, that the curricular, co-curricular and administrative activities of the university will not be disrupted and that others will not be deprived of their right to be heard. I would be happy to speak with any of you prior to tomorrow’s visit if you have any questions about what is permissible under University policy.</p>

<p>Best,</p>

<p>Dean Rick

<p>Here’s hoping for a safe, sane, “teaching moment” for everyone – including Justice Scalia.
Remember kids, “Play nice. Play smart.”</p>
