The University of New Mexico (UNM) told Breitbart News it was “deeply disappointed” by its students who attacked a recent Turning Point USA event on campus where Tomi Laren is located. The school added that protesters “damaged university property and illegally set fire alarms”.
We are deeply disappointed by the actions of those who deliberately decided to disrupt the planned talk and violate the rights of the speaker and attendees to listen and participate, disrespect University property and unlawfully set the fire alarm. aforementioned. said the university.
When asked how much damage was done to the university, the school said, “A hole was found in the drywall of one of the walls of the student union building.”
The university added:
The University of New Mexico is committed to the principles of freedom of expression and values its role as a public forum for discussion, a marketplace for ideas, and a place to test and challenge competing views and opinions. In this context, the entries of speakers invited to campus by a student organization in no way constitute an endorsement of the content or views of their speeches. And those who disagree with the ideas expressed are invited to express their views respectfully.
“The safety of our campus and visitors is our top priority,” the school said.
The university added that “while no arrests have been made, these incidents are being investigated and anyone violating the law or university policy will be held accountable.”
“The UNM Office of Ethics and Equal Opportunity (CEEO) is actively investigating complaints that students who have tickets to the event have been denied access because of their appearance,” the school said.
“Furthermore, some UNM departments will meet to discuss improving the environment in which the public’s right to freedom of speech is ensured, as well as the right of speakers to host their scheduled programs, especially when our facilities are used for many events at the same time,” the university said.
Last week, a crowd of left-leaning University of New Mexico students attacked a Turning Point USA campus event featuring Tomi Laren, demanding that state police be called to the scene.
