Ava Muhammad, a minister and author associated with the Nation of Islam, was set to speak on reparations.
Barely a week ago, San Diego State University was celebrating a student who had proposed a summit on U.S. reparations for slavery and come up with a list of possible speakers, including some prominent ones.
The university says it thoughtfully considered the matter and took appropriate action. But campus emails and a newsletter show that SDSU — like universities nationwide — found itself grappling with a tough question: Farrakhan has been accused of anti-Semitism by such organizations as the Southern Poverty Law Center.
“This does not mean, however, that speech intended to denigrate or dehumanize others based on their backgrounds or social identities is consistent with SDSU’s values — which it is not.”
