Arizona State University Cancels Fundraising Event Featuring Two Republican Congressmen
“It is becoming clear that woke cancel culture has taken over every office at the University”
The school is blaming the cancellation on a scheduling issue. Does anyone buy this?

ASU cancels fundraiser with Republican congressmen
Arizona State University canceled a fundraiser featuring two Republican congressmen, a school representative confirmed to Campus Reform.
The event, advertised to take place mid-February, was slated to feature Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs and former Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz. The event was set to benefit the Political History and Leadership (PHL) program at ASU.
ASU senior media relations office Jerry Gonzalez told Campus Reform that the event was canceled “due to a breach of scheduling protocol by a faculty member” in the program, but declined to specify which policy was violated.
“The university welcomes the opportunity for this event to be rescheduled following the required protocols,” Gonzalez said.
According to the program website, the Political History and Leadership program “promotes leadership and civic involvement by imparting a deeper understanding of the meaning of political liberty and economic well-being to undergraduate students.”
“Students will learn and discuss political thought in order to foster a better understanding of past and present government,” the description continues. “Through these courses, you will be able to apply your knowledge to larger issues and become a leader in your community and career.”
Arizona Free Enterprise Club President Scot Mussi called the cancellation “outrageous,” suggesting that University President Michael Crow and ASU canceled the fundraiser “because they oppose the views and philosophy of the featured speakers attending the event,”
“It is becoming clear that woke cancel culture has taken over every office at the University,” Mussi told Campus Reform.

Hold them accountable.
They’re going to wish they hadn’t F’dA with Andy Biggs. He’s local, he’s a fire=breather, and he knows all the people who buried the skeletons. And making enemies of powerful locals isn’t a survival trait for public universities.
