State of Emergency is for the county, nothing has actually happened thus far.

First Amendment and all, but who is out there advocating bringing Spencer to UF?

Spencer’s National Policy Institute will host an event at 2:30 p.m. at the Curtis M. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.

A group calling itself “No Nazis at UF” plans to protest outside the event and nearly 3,000 people had indicated on Facebook that they planned to participate as of Wednesday, Students also staged a sit-in at a student Senate meeting earlier in the week.

The anti-Spencer group had urged UF President W. Kent Fuchs to cancel the event, as did UF’s chapters of the United Faculty of Florida and Graduate Assistants United.

Spencer, they argued, represents a threat to safety on campus.

“We are disappointed that the individuals who advocate for a Spencer visit to campus have ignored the rights of thousands of employees to safety and dignity on the job,” UFF’s leadership wrote in an editorial published this month by The Gainesville Sun.
