Coulter's UConn Invitation Opposed

STORRS -- Conservative Ann Coulter hasn't even stepped foot on the UConn campus, but her scheduled appearance there next week has already stirred up students.Her speaking engagement Dec. 7 and the student government's decision to spend $16,000 to bring her to campus have spawned letters to the editor and an editorial in the student newspaper and have prompted some students to plan an alternative event called "Stop the Hate."The UConn College Republicans invited Coulter, a nationally known political commentator and author, as part of their mission to bring conservative speakers to the University of Connecticut and to promote conservative thought on campus."We're here at college to hear everything and challenge everything. Having a speaker like Ann Coulter lets us do that," said Kareem Mohni, 19, of New Milford, spokesman for the UConn College Republicans."Most universities are very liberal and most professors are very liberal. This is not a criticism, it's just a fact of being at a university. The idea here is that it will inspire discussion among students," Mohni said.But some students on campus said Coulter is a "hateful" speaker and fear she will marginalize certain student groups."I guess my problem is the amount of money - spending all that money on a speaker who in the past has said such awful things," said Eric Knudsen, 19, of Deep River, who has helped organize "Stop the Hate," an event after Coulter's talk that aims to celebrate diversity and promote acceptance."We're not protesting. We just feel there is nothing to balance Ann Coulter. It sounds touchy-feely, but it's not like that. It's just different representations," Knudsen said..........
