There are real-life consequences to inviting scientists who promote science discrimination to continue to speak at university events:

it reinforces science inequality by giving famous scientists rewards & attention so they can continue to espouse their life-long remarks;

it promotes bad science, by hosting scientists who have published stolen works & who promote flawed pseudoscience on race & gender;

it makes campus unsafe for minorities and women + femmes of various backgrounds, by tolerating bigotry and encouraging exclusion & violence;

finally, undermines students, staff & faculty who promote equity & diversity, diminishing efforts & putting them at risk when they speak out

Personnel & students who protested against Watson's invitation are receiving death threats. That's the calibre of audience Watson attracts.
