We can criticise universities for not hosting radfems, conservatives, Islamists etc but we can't make them do it.

a speech at a university may well be the only chance for people to hear different points of view, and would help fight fake news

No. People can access the internet at libraries if they cannot afford it at home.

they don't though. That's the phenomenon we're seeing. Most people don't seek alternative views

Then they probably won't travel to universities for them either. Again, a different issue.

This is why I argue for free speech & representation of diversity of ideas. I don't think we can force ppl to do this.

we don't know if it will happen if we don't. Who is victimised by such a law? Companies? They don't need anyone to champion them

Depends what size they are and who they are speaking for! An ex-Muslim organisation cld suffer from being made to host Islamists.

Besides which, we either support freedom of expression or we don't. We can't say 'You must host these ppl you hate coz big.'
