Padgett filed a lawsuit against Auburn University for violating his first amendment rights after the adminis- tration rejected his request to rent a room on campus. A federal judge overturned Auburn’s decision to bar Spencer from speaking just hours before the scheduled event in April, resulting in Spencer being permitted to speak on campus. In May, Auburn University lawyers agreed to pay almost $29,000 to settle the case. Now, Padgett is suing Penn State for the same rea- sons he sued Auburn. “It’s an unfortunate thing but not a surprise at all,” Fernando Mendez , president of the Penn State Col- lege Democrats , said. “This is something we’ve seen at Auburn, we’ve seen it happen at the University of Florida, and I think it is going to continue to happen at all the other universities that Padgett has applied to speak at.” Mendez (senior-political science and public rela- tions) referenced the seemingly systematic nature of Padgett’s bookings at universities across the nation, and said that Penn State’s decision to bar Spencer is “the correct decision to make.” “[Spencer] is somebody who is purposely target- ing communities and trying to incite violence, and has Christopher Sanders/Collegian done so in the past,” Mendez said.
