Over the weekend scenes from Charlottesville, Virginia took the nation by storm as protests and counter protests turned violent near the University of Virginia.
Coincidently this weekend UF President Kent Fuchs emailed students to make them aware that Richard Spencer, the president of the National Policy Institute and a white supremacist, could possibly speak at the University of Florida on September 2.
In the e-mail (and on Facebook) Fuchs said:
“Per university regulation 2.004, non-university groups, organizations and persons may rent space on campus, provided they cover rental expenses and security costs like all other third-party renters.
