Ohio State wants white nationalist's lawsuit dismissed
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS, Ohio — Dec 23, 2017, 9:26 AM ET
Ohio State University is asking a federal judge to dismiss a free speech lawsuit filed by an associate and organizer of campus tours for white nationalist Richard Spencer.
At issue was Ohio State's decision earlier this year to deny a request by Spencer to speak on campus.
The university said in a court filing Friday that it made its decision based on the risk to public safety and disruption to campus activities.
The university said it reviewed violent occurrences involving Spencer events at the University of Virginia and the University of Florida.
