MIDDLEBURY — Protesters at Middlebury College injured professor Allison Stangar as she was escorting controversial guest lecturer Charles Murray from the campus Thursday. Stangar was treated at Porter Hospital for a neck injury and released the same evening.
“The act appeared to be committed by non-Middlebury students,” said Bill Burger, the college’s vice president of communications. “They were wearing masks and are believed to be from outside of the Middlebury community who came specifically to the event as agitators.”
Murray was invited to speak under the banner of the student-run conservative organization, the American Enterprise Institute Club. He has been criticized for his controversial work, “The Bell Curve,” which discusses correlations between race and intelligence. His more recent book, “Coming Apart,” is about class division in the United States. Murray has been labeled as a “white nationalist” by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Students were successful disrupting Murray’s appearance by rallying in the auditorium, ultimately forcing his presentation to continue via live video stream.
