And in Minnesota, the University of Saint Thomas has reversed its cancellation of a lecture by the former Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa. Tutu was scheduled to speak next spring, but earlier this year school officials revoked the invitation over Tutu’s criticism of Israeli policy in the Occupied Territories. Tutu has compared Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to South Africa under apartheid and Germany under the Nazis. In a public statement, Saint Thomas President Dennis Dease did not explain his reasons for re-inviting Tutu. The reversal follows vocal public outcry from students and faculty. No word from Tutu on whether he’ll accept.
