York gets it...
York University’s vice-president students says, in a letter to the National Post, that York University considers the actions of the York Federation of Students in cancelling a debate last Thursday "regrettable."
Robert Tiffin says that York’s administration is working to arrange a suitable venue within university controlled space on campus for a debate.
The York Federation of Students just lost another battle - their attempts to stifle debate are merely going to result in more people attending the eventual debate.
Free speech prevails.
