List of Campus Disinvitation Attempts, 2000–2014
As we note in our 2014 Disinvitation Report, the following list is not exhaustive, and will be updated as our research warrants. If you are aware of any incidents that you believe were not included, or that took place before 2000, please email a link to, scan of, or citation for a reliable media report about that incident to disinvitation@thefire.org.
Key:
Pink - Incidents in which a speaker's invitation was formally rescinded
Blue - Incidents in which a speaker withdrew in the face of protest
Yellow - Incidents in which students or faculty persistently disrupted the speaker, effectively preventing the speaker from conveying his or her message (the "heckler's veto")
White - Incidents in which the disinvitation attempt was ultimately unsuccessful
