How far does this logic go? Do you wish for these Universities to provide a platform for anyone who requests one?

Yes. They wont roll out the red carpet for anyone, but they should still be allowed to speak freely. 

What does that mean? Anyone can hang out in the public University quad and talk. Nothing has changed in that respect (and that is protected by the 1st Amendment). However, people seem to be taking issue with how Universities provide people with platforms. There is a very big difference there between allowing speech and providing platforms. You say that they "wont roll out the carpet for any anyone" but that statement is far too vague to actually discuss. Should they allow these people (ie "anyone") to speak in front of an organized assembly as hosted by the University in the manner that a University typically hosts outside speakers?
