News Release Statement on Cancellation of Professor William Ayers's Visit to UW
March 30, 2010 -- The director of the Social Justice Research Center at the University of Wyoming cancelled the scheduled appearance of Professor William Ayers. The director announced his decision to the UW administration late Monday evening and noted there are no plans to host Professor Ayers in the future.
In his communication to the administration, the director apologized to the university community for any harm that may have come to it and cited personal and professional reasons, including safety concerns, for the cancellation.
In response, Tom Buchanan, president of the University of Wyoming, said, "I appreciate the consideration for the university that the re-evaluation demonstrated." Buchanan thanked the director for taking this initiative and for his willingness to respect the interests of the UW community, including statewide constituencies.
"Re-evaluation of this event was unavoidable. One way or the other, this event needed to be revisited, and I respect the director for being willing, on his own, to cancel this invitation. I'm satisfied with the outcome," Buchanan said.
He continued, "Academic freedom is a core principle of any institution of higher education. But with that freedom comes an obligation to exercise free thought and free speech in concert with mutual respect and acknowledgment of broader resource and security impacts on the campus. The exercise of freedom requires a commensurate dose of responsibility.
"Observers in and outside of the university would be incorrect to conclude that UW simply caved in to external pressure. Rather, I commended the director of the center for a willingness to be sensitive to the outpouring of criticism, evaluate the arguments, and reconsider the invitation.
"The University of Wyoming is one of the few institutions remaining in today's environment that garners the confidence of the public. The visit by Professor Ayers would have adversely impacted that reputation.
"During the past few days, controversy over Professor Ayers's visit has been intense. While this episode illustrated an opportunity to hear and critically evaluate a variety of ideas thoughtfully, through open, reasoned, and civil debate, it also demonstrates that we must be mindful of the real consequences our actions and decisions have on others."

Bernadette Dohrn, Bill Ayers and the bomb that killed a cop (By Cliff Kincaid, Accuracy in Media)
May 2009
“A select group of former law enforcement officials will on March 12 come to Washington to press for an expanded probe of Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, and their alleged roles in the 1970 bombing murder of a San Francisco policeman...”
Unfortunately, most colleges do. It’s because the colleges are run by people from when Ayers his hey day.
Yes, interestingly he believes 25 million americans would need to die if they don’t go along with the takeover.
I guess he wants to have the STALIN regime (25 million dead)for Americans. Makes you go HUMMMMMMM
thanks for the info
I see that his wife writes for The Huffington Post. And the media says that there is violent rhetoric on right wing blogs???
I didn't mean to imply that you do.
However, since he is not being harassed by his fellow prisoners on death row, I certainly wouldn't hold it against a couple hundred thousand patriotic protesters, who make it their life's work to have him run a gantlet everywhere he goes.
I would like to think that she would have to finally pay for killing the policemen, but the chances of Holder agreeing to prosecute are nil.
The FBI has an actual murderer of a Policeman in plain sight.
Yet spends hundreds of thousands on the Stone fam of idiots.
Undercover agent Larry Grathwohl discusses the Weather Underground's post-revolution governing plans for the United States:
Larry Grathwohl:
"I asked, 'well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?' and the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers. And when I say 'eliminate,' I mean 'kill.' Twenty-five million people. I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people. And they were dead serious."
Well, Praise God!
As I recall, he got off due to a technicality. Was that result with or without prejudice? I'm just wondering if additional evidence that may have come to light, either through his writings or his actual speaking (and I recall in a 9/11 interview he said something to the effect that they didn't do enough terrorism) that he can be brought before a court again.
Because he, like his wife Bernardine Dohrn and Obama, is an "intellectual".

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that ["intellectual"] Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World — where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' — both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."

That’s all we need, the great state of Wyoming allowing a Terrorist to speak.
God Help Us!
This is EXACTLY why I keep saying that the people in and around this Administration are the worst RADICALS this county has ever seen.
And they are not just throwing out ideas. They actually BELIEVE and have lived this doctrine for 30 years.
Thought you’d be encouraged by this.
he belongs in front of a firing squad. What is wrong with America? (and where do we start to answer that question?)
“Social Justice Research Center”
Where you will find the latest innovations in Communist Psychological Warfare (CPW) techniques.
All taking place right here in your new country, the USSA.
Safety concerns? They must have received credible information that Ayres was going to set off a bomb on campus. He’s previously said he wished he had set off more.
They were afraid Ayers would blow something up. Once a terrorist, always a terrorist.
The Social Justice Research Center at the University of Wyoming. Wyoming?
Where are the Republican legislators? The next legislative session should defund this center.
