Butler U. President Bobby Fong: those who threw a pie at guest speaker would be prosecuted. He issued a statement including:
A university is at its best a forum for the open exchange of ideas and opinions. Mr. Horowitz`s right to express his opinions was violated by those who disrupted his speech. We support the constitutional rights of free speech granted to Mr. Horowitz as well as to those who disagree with his opinions. The university does not support this inappropriate behavior.
Pressure on a university President in this case has resulted in an appropriate statement. Similar statements from other university Presidents should be sought as well.
