Marathon Pundit internet exclusive! DePaul refuses to run FrontPage Magazine's DTN ad in its school paper

Crossposted on Marathon Pundit and Pajamas Media.

Chicago's DePaul University is at its favorite game again, stifling free speech. Marathon Pundit was informed this afternoon that DePaul backed out of an agreement to run the linked-below advertisement in the DePaulia, an owned and operated publication of DePaul.

Click here to see the ad that DePaul turned down.

Big thanks to Phil Haskett of Medary.com for hosting the document.

FrontPage Magazine is on online publication, its editor-in-chief is noted author David Horowitz, whose latest book is The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America Horowitz is the braintrust behind the Academic Bill of Rights. Discover the Network also known as DTN, is a project of FrontPage.
Here is an excerpt of the ad copy of that DePaul refused:

In October 2005, DePaul University forbade its own students to protest a campus appearance by Ward Churchill. Churchill is known for blaming the World Trade Center victims for their own deaths, calling them "Little Eichmanns." DePaul's actions came about a year after it suspended Professor Thomas Klocek for engaging students in an academic debate.

Hey Rubes,

Long Time! DePaul must have some Board of Trustees. One embarassment after another.

In Jamaica for a week. And I've been struggling with various computer ailments. Thanks for the welcome back.

Technorati still isn't picking up my site...and I've been trying to fix that.

jsimon@jenner.com is the e-mail address for John Simon, Chair of the DePaul board of trustees.

Mary Dempsey CEO of the Chicago Public Libaries is the vice chair.

It's hard to tell sometimes if Horowitz is in media hound mode or just publicity whore. He gets better mileage when his ads are rejected, that's for sure.
