After being shouted down by disruptive protesters at Cornell University just two years ago, conservative commentator Ann Coulter will return to the Ivy League campus in April, this time with the support of university officials promising to protect free speech on campus.
Coulter is slated to come to campus April 19 in the university’s Myron Taylor Hall, where she will speak about the topic of immigration, followed by a short question and answer session.
After The Cornell Daily Sun broke the news in March of Coulter’s invite to return to campus, Provost Michael Kotlikoff released a statement clarifying that he supported the effort to invite Coulter back to campus, after ‘having been deeply troubled’ at the fact that her last visit to her alma mater in 2022 ended with her walking out of the room after 27 fruitless minutes of attempting to deliver her speech despite disruptive protesters.
At the time, Cornell promised that the students responsible for ruining the event would be punished. Now, Kotlikoff says he expects the April event will proceed as planned, and that Coulter will be allowed to “deliver her remarks in full.”
