UJS and double standards

Far be it from me to reignite the flames surrounding the UJS-Douglas Murray fall out of ten days ago.

But having just read this piece by Carly McKenzie on Comment is Free, I do wonder what exactly goes through the minds of the UJS hierarchy sometimes.

Here Carly writes:

“[Fosis] would have us believe that it holds a commitment to liberal ideology. Conversely, those who invite hate speakers on to campus are donning a cloak of hypocrisy and employing theoretical freedoms as a form of liberal protection. What is liberal about inviting proponents of homophobia, antisemitism and sexism to speak at universities? What exactly is so liberal about hosting advocates of racial and religious violence?”
