That was the message sent by university President Lou Anna K. Simon in an interview following Friday’s meeting of the Michigan State University Board of Trustees.
Simon repeated the university’s talking point that Will’s view on sexual assault — made infamous in June 6 column where he wrote reports of sexual assault on campus make “victimhood a coveted status that confers privileges” — is not condoned by the university. However, she believes Will should be allowed to speak.'
