She’d suggested removing automatic student funds from political groups would remove political discourse from campus altogether.

These are the same people that think that shutting down government funding of the arts will absolutely and completely kill any and all forms of art in this country. They argue by saying things like, "What do you have against art?" and "If it weren't for art, the walls in your house would be bare and you'd have nothing of beauty in life." Yes, all art will die if the NEA can't keep sending grant money to unemployed loser "artists" that aren't good enough to sell their stuff in the marketplace and have to live on welfare under a different name.

My walls are covered with pictures of my young granddaughters. No "art" can compare to that beauty.
