| Subject: Absurd: Fearing outrage, Azusa Pacific University cancels libertarian scholar Charles Murray’s speech Wed Apr 23, 2014 5:42 am | |
| Azusa Pacific University, a private, Christian University in Los Angeles, California, cancelled a planned address by famed libertarian scholar Charles Murray out of concern that his talk might upset “faculty and students of color.”
Murray, a political scientist and libertarian intellectual, is a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. For months, he was scheduled to give a speech at APU on Wednesday. But APU President Jon Wallace abruptly cancelled the planned speech, insisting that the campus was not yet “ready” to hear what Murray had to say.
According to Murray, an APU faculty member told him that Wallace was worried Murray’s speech might hurt the feelings of minority students and teachers.
