10. As a public institution, Kent State is required to allow Turning Point USA on campus

as well as other despicable and objectionable groups on campus, even neo-nazis. The University is not paying them. This article from KentWired does not specify, but usually these groups are invited by a student group on campus. This has been a contentious issue for many years but the GOP led state legislature would likely reduce state funding to the public universities if they do not allow all comers to campus.

The university’s response shared by Emily Vincent, the university’s media relations director, to KentWired said, “As with any speaker invited to our campus, the university does not endorse or condone an opinion or point of view represented by the speaker, nor does the university advocate for any topic the speaker might discuss during their visit to campus.”

The university’s statement said, “As a state university, we permit groups and individuals to speak and share their views on our campus about topics they feel are important.”

Was he crying as he left the stage? That poor dog deserves a better human!
