into account.

TMD: What kinds of things are

you going to specifically, in the
negotiations, what kinds of things
do you think could contribute
to making a more or less safe
environment?

Schlissel: What the law allows

us to consider is the time and the
place and the manner of speaking.
So for example, it would be very
easy for us to say no if Mr. Spencer
insisted on speaking on the Diag
at 11 in the morning on a class day
with a bullhorn. Right? Because
he would disrupt everyone’s class.
So, using that as an example, what
we would look for is a time of
the day and time of the year and
a location that our professional
security people tell us is the safest
possible way to do this. It would
be silly to discuss these things
in public and these are things
that we want to discuss with Mr.
Spencer’s representatives to figure
out whether we can do something
that’s safe.

TMD:
So
then
in
the

negotiations going forward, which
voices will you consider? Are there
any faculty or student organization
voices which will take precedence
over one another? Furthermore,
is there an expected timeline for

how long these deliberations may
take?

Schlissel: I don’t know, I don’t

want to prejudice them. I want
to make clear again, I have no
particular interest in hearing
this person speak and I have no

particular interest in having this
person come to the University of
Michigan. The idea is that he’s
made a request to rent a room, and

STUDENT GOVERNMENT, FACULTY INPUT

SCHLISSEL

From Page 1A

we’re obligated to consider that
request without consideration
of what he wants to talk about
so with that in mind, as I’ve said
publicly, we’re certainly allowed
to put restrictions on the time,
place and manner of speech
to maintain the safety of our
community and to minimize the
disruption to our mission, and
that’s what we’ll try to do. You
could think of ways we might
do this, but I’m not going to
describe in a newspaper article
how the University is going to try
to negotiate the safest possible
way to do this, because that
would be against our interest in
doing it the safest possible way.
If we do arrive at a way to move
forward, we would certainly
give our community plenty of
notice, we would discuss with the
community all of our best advice
about how people can maintain
their own personal safety, we
would discuss ways to protest and
to express yourselves if that’s what

you want to do. We’ve promised
to work with student groups
and other groups on campus for
alternative programming and if
people want things in different
places so they can be together
with one another, rather than
sitting around wondering what’s
going on with this crazy person
on a different part of our campus,
so we’ll do all of those things but
there’s not really much we can do
until (we know) whether it would
be possible to do this safely and
when and where it would be, and
we don’t know those things yet.
You know, one thing I’m really
concerned about and presuming
you were going to ask me about
this, is students are protesting this
decision to determine whether
we can move forward in a safe
fashion, and some people have
called for a boycott of classes,
and one thing I’m very worried
about is by expressing the way
we feel about this person, we may
be inadvertently playing into his
hands and giving him material he
can use for fundraising and giving
him the sense of power that none
of us think he deserves, I certainly
don’t think he deserves. So I have

this picture of this person sitting
in a room somewhere laughing
at us. Laughing at us because his
asking to rent a room and come
and say words are enough to have
people decide they don’t want to
go to class on Thursday, and I fear
that we’re giving this man too
much power over us.

TMD: Can you tell us who,

besides
you
and
Richard

Spencer and his team, will be
directly involved in those sort of
negotiations?

Schlissel: I don’t want to

discuss the details — it will
be people that are trusted to
understand the legal issues that
are involved and the public safety
issues involved.

TMD: And, as far as alternative

events offered to students, is
there anything in place yet? Or in
the works?

Schlissel: No because we

don’t know if or when he’s
coming. What I can imagine
is a series of events developed
in collaboration with students
and faculty for the same day he’s
here if he does come here and
then perhaps a moderate time
thereafter of days or a week or

two weeks after, a major
event expressing different
points of view that we
might want to sponsor that
more express our values.
That
remains
abstract

until we know whether
he’s
coming.
Students

have already been sending
me suggestions for who
they might like to see and
here to express alternate
viewpoints which is what
we should be doing.

TMD:
Before
we

shift topics, back to the
resources
you
touched

on — the student strike
on Thursday, I think the
idea behind that from
protesters
is
that
this

kind of organizing and
resistance takes a lot of
time and effort, that maybe
distracts from —

Schlissel:
From
their

studies, and what they’re
trying to accomplish as
students.
