...[T]he Board reaffirms its commitment to the principles of academic freedom and free speech. ... Unequivocal adherence of these rights and principles, however, does not mean that the University is required to open its doors to those who would destroy or violate the moral and intellectual integrity of the institution and what it stands for. ...[T]he University must prevent hate mongers from using the University as a venue and launching pad for their hate speech campaigns.
