Evidently they are great at selling BS degree's and I'm not talking about a Bachelors of Science.

I can see both sides of this issue actually. When I went to the University of Wisconsin it was during the Palestinian Intifada. We had Reserve IDF officers attending UW because the school is well known in Israel as a good school to send your kids to. We also had Palestinians attending. Both groups would invite highly controversial speakers to the campus that would inflame the other side. OK fine, nothing wrong with that. Where I had an issue was they also had counter demonstrations in the Student Union that where so bad that the UW administration painted a white line down the inside of the building and made rules restricting the sides to their side of the white line (childish). On top of that they had heavy security to keep them seperate (OK still no issue). Where I had an issue was in order for me to change classes I had to go through the Student Union and thread that needle of BS, greatly increasing my time in getting to my next class (this is my problem). At the point where free speech starts to impact the ability of the University to educate other students who may not be interested in an issue.........I think they should have the right to restrict the group from campus or they should at a minimum restrict the protesting. I feel students have a right to an uninterrupted education and quite honestly I did not need a miniture version of the Palestinian Intifada in my Student Union while I was paying for and attempting to get an education.
