Wright State University decides not to host presidential debate
Wright State University has decided not to host the first general-election presidential debate, citing mounting costs and security concerns. The debate is scheduled for Sept. 26 and was to be held at the Wright State Nutter Center. It will now instead be held at Hofstra University in New York, which is the alternate site.
“This is a very difficult decision,” Wright State President David R. Hopkins said July 19. “But there has been a growing crescendo of concern about what it would take to guarantee the safety and security of the campus and the community. The expense would be daunting.”
Unlike private universities that have hosted debates in the past, Wright State cannot restrict public access to its campus, which adds to security challenges.

A better idea: Let’s not have any debates.
We outgrew them thanks to Trump.
I wonder how the Hillary campaign paid the Univ to cancel the debate. She knows that if she faces Trump, he’ll hit her with everything he’s got. We may suddenly see an “illness” or “family emergency” used to cancel or “postpone to later date” other debates.
