Stanford reports:
On Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 25, several individuals disrupted the Democracy and Disagreement course in Cemex Auditorium to protest a guest speaker, former Secretary of the Treasury Larry Summers, who was there to debate with the economist Emmanuel Saez on the idea of a wealth tax.
The protestors were not Stanford students.
This behavior violates university policy and will not be tolerated. The Department of Public Safety collected information from the disruptors and is referring the information to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office. We are taking steps to ban these individuals from our campus, which is private property. We extend the university's apologies both to the speakers and to the students who were in attendance.
