Rudolph Giuliani will give the commencement address at St. John Fisher College this weekend, but some members of the faculty are hoping to prevent his speech. In fact, 49 members of the faculty signed an open letter to college president Donald Bain, asking him to rescind the invitation to Giuliani. Bain rejected that request. The Giuliani debate is part of a growing number of commencement speaker controversies around the country. Is it about free speech? Should the faculty set aside their personal feelings? Our guests debate:
- Stephen Brauer, St. John Fisher English professor
- Jenna Rossi, St. John Fisher American Studies professor
- Zach Cedruly, St. John Fisher College Student
