Vanderbilt Chancellor: Students Assaulting a Security Officer ‘Has Nothing To Do with Free Speech’

‘We took the appropriate action’

EXCERPT:

DIERMEIER: “While our students have the freedom to express themselves and to protest, that doesn't mean that you can get run into closed building and injure security officers. So as a consequence of that, we took the appropriate action, students went through student discipline as you just mentioned. So this has nothing to do with free speech. This was just a violation, a blatant violations of university rules. And when you violate the rules there are consequences.”
