David T. Hardy, an Arizona lawyer, filed suit claiming that the University tried to influence the outcome of the election by bringing Moore to campus. This would obviously be a violation of the policy for use of funds by a public entity.
The University claims that they were doing it simply to encourage discussion, and that they did not advocate, oppose or favor any political party in paying him $50,000 (of student activity funds) to speak.
I was present at this event, and it was nothing but a Kerry pep rally. While I did not go inside, but protested outside with a group of other GOPers, people who did hear the speech commented on the fact that Moore openly urged attendees to vote for Kerry, even cutting down the Green party candidate because he said it would take votes away from Kerry.
Further, in order to afford Moore, the University had to violate its own policies regarding limits to the amount of funds that can be used for an activity.
She, in turn, had sheltered professor Sami al Arian in the faculty fold at her university.
Al Arian was (is) the US frontman for one of the largest terrorist-group coalitions in the world - Islamic Jihad.

They're coming to get your kids, tra la.

Of course, they brought a well-known conservative such as Ann Coulter to ensure that any "encouraged discussion" is even-handed (/sarcasm)
