This seems to be a student union thing. Maybe the university should intervene and ban the student union from banning things. It probably will, for the sake of it's own reputation.
I can't help but desire that the university does not intervene, though. It is perhaps more instructive to let the students experience, in a somewhat safe environment, what happens when you give absolute power to ideologues, and let them figure out how to recover freedom in their own terms. The Neitzsche club people are smart, they will hold meetings in the Starbucks in front of the university and embarrass the apprentice censors. Cheers Telmo.
