The controversy over scholar Christina Hoff Sommers' lecture at Georgetown University last week is not over.
Lauren Gagliardi, the school's assistant director for the center for student engagement, emailed two members of the College Republicans to request they edit the video to remove students who did not agree to be videotaped.
In the email, provided to the Washington Examiner, Gagliardi tells the students that the "edited version needs to be released without students who did not give permission to be taped." She also says that if the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute, which sponsored the event, is "unwilling or unresponsive to the request, Georgetown will need to step in."
The video that has Gagliardi so upset features feminist activists holding up signs accusing Hoff Sommers of being an anti-feminist or deny rape.

In other words: FU Georgetown and the horse you rode in on.
Protesting in a public venue? They put themselves in public view and gave their assent to be noted in public by way of their actions.
demonstrating in a public place - legal to tape
Did the College Republicans agree to be protested? Maybe the school should delete the students.
Already done! I haven't watched it yet, but since it's 10 days old, I assume it is the unedited version.
Too late, whiners.
Hmm... For many events that I did back in college (worked AV so we were the ones teching the show/running the video), most of them had a notice on the sign at the entryway that there was a possibility of being video recorded, and by entering you agree to that possibility. Dunno if that was an SMU specific policy, or if most events just did that for legal reasons.
More or less, though in more diplomatic language.
