G4:  You make an excellent point.  It's almost embarrassing that a University Administration would consider a discussion of free speech vis a vis individual "protections" from such activity to be a "distraction" to students in a Law School.  In today's social/political climate that discussion, IMO, is one of the most relevant and important topics Law students could address.  
Thank you for making that point......it seems to have escaped University leaders.  regards, Gary
