Rutgers Reinvites Critic of Radicalism After Canceling Speech

Joshua Gill   October 16, 2018 

Rutgers University last week canceled a speech against radicalism by investigative journalist Lisa Daftari in the face of a growing outcry from student groups who called her views Islamophobic.

But Monday, a Rutgers spokesman told Campus Reform that it had reinvited Daftari to campus earlier in the day and offered four possible dates in November.

The university initially defended featuring Daftari’s scheduled appearance Tuesday as a matter of free speech and an occasion for important debate on the matter of radicalism on college campuses. It then backtracked and canceled the event.
