Walker appeared Sunday on "UPFRONT with Mike Gousha," produced in partnership with Wispolitics.com.
"To me, a university should be precisely the spot where you have an open and free dialogue about all different positions," he said. "But the minute you shut down a speaker, no matter whether they are liberal or conservative or somewhere in between, I just think that's wrong," said.

Suspend or expell students that disrupt free speech? Sounds like a winner to me, of course, this would have to be within guidelines as one doesn't want to deter their free speech either.
This has become a national story about the right to free speech on campuses but this is an update on Governor Walker addressing this issue months ago.
