When should student publications accept and reject advertising that prompts controversy? Conservative commentator David Horowitz has stirred the pot yet again, this time at UCSB.
What responsibilities do student publishers face? What's the role of free speech here? What's Horowitz's obligation in placing the ad?
This sort of communication reared its head here at the UW a few years back. Then some administrators chimed in. Then still more defended the students.

I interviewed Horowitz last year for the Herald over the phone and he's quite the charismatic guy. It was tough to keep on track and get my questions in since he clearly had his talking points like the politicians in the election.
In advertising, I always have to be careful about what I say in order to not offend people. A simple headline can easily turn sour in a heart beat if we are not careful.
