Arizona State University canceled an event originally scheduled for Friday afternoon where Rep. Rashida Talib, D-Mich., was set to speak.
The event, “Palestine is an American issue,” was scheduled for Friday at 4 p.m. and organized by the Arizona Palestine Network, which isn’t a university-affiliated organization.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, an ASU spokesperson said the event didn’t follow its policies and procedures.
“Organizers of events using ASU facilities must be properly registered with ASU and must meet all university requirements for crowd management, parking, security, and insurance. In addition, the events must be produced in a way which minimizes disruption to academic and other activities on campus. The event featuring Congresswoman Tlaib was planned and produced by groups not affiliated with ASU and was organized outside of ASU policies and procedures. Accordingly, that event will not take place today on the ASU Tempe campus,” the spokesperson said.
