Mar 10, 2014: News Busters: Hayes Zings Rutgers Administration as ‘Morons,’ Students Who Impugned Rice as ‘Idiots’ and ‘Punks’
Catching up with a fun few minutes from Wednesday night, the Weekly Standard’s Stephen Hayes went on a tear after those who forced former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to withdraw as commencement speaker at New Jersey’s Rutgers University.

Apr 17, 2014: City Pages: SDS says protestors dressed like Guantanamo prisoners will attend Condi Rice's speech
The University of Minnesota Senate recently voted down a resolution calling for the cancelation of Condoleezza Rice's Humphrey School speech, which is set for 5 p.m. tonight at the Northrop Auditorium as part of the "Distinguished Carlson Lecture Series."

ON THE RECORD: Apr 15, 2014: Nearly 200 University of Minnesota professors have joined the controversy over a scheduled speech on Thursday by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, saying in a public letter that they don't think the Humphrey School lecture series is an appropriate forum for her talk.
It goes on and says "Another professor, who helped organize the letter but asked not to be named, said two issues prompted the protest letter: The lecture series is focusing on civil rights this year, and she's not really a civil-rights expert, they said. She's famous for her foreign-policy work, which was very controversial.
And the website announcement of her speech identified her as a spreader of democracy around the world, which didn't ring true to the signers.
If I were him, I would be embarrassed to be named also. Rice is a black woman.  Do you need some special criteria to have to become a black woman at the University of Minnesota? 
But the motive becomes clear as the cowardly anonymous professors letter continues: "While Dr. Rice is an accomplished African-American woman, the advancement of civil rights — the theme of this year's lecture series — is not central to her legacy. Indeed, as a leading national security official during the entirety of the Bush administration, she bears responsibility for substantial violations of civil liberties and civil rights that were carried out in the name of prosecuting the War on Terror."
The cowardly professor is holding some kind of a political grudge against George W Bush, and, hence, is taking it out on a black woman. And against a war that was continued by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, not to forget to mention that Colin Powell was Secretary of State when the war began. Hopefully the University won't fold to such political stupidity. All 200 members of the faculty who signed this letter should be ashamed of themselves for being cowardly close minded. If they do not want to hear her speak, dont show up.

Mar 26, 2014: USA Today: Condi Rice wades into GOP politics
She's a former secretary of State who gives a great speech, has a well-known smile and is a hot political property: making campaign ads, rallying the party faithful, and, on Wednesday, keynoting a $1,000-a-plate Washington fundraiser.

Condoleezza Rice (born November 14, 1954) is an American political scientist and diplomat. She served as the 66th United States Secretary of State, and was the second person to hold that office in the administration of President George W. Bush. Rice was the first female African-American secretary of state, as well as the second African American secretary of state (after Colin Powell), and the second female secretary of state (after Madeleine Albright). Rice was President Bush's National Security Advisor during his first term, making her the first woman to serve in that position. Before joining the Bush administration, she was a professor of political science at Stanford University where she served as Provost from 1993 to 1999. Rice also served on the National Security Council as the Soviet and Eastern Europe Affairs Advisor to President George H.W. Bush during the dissolution of the Soviet Union and German reunification. Following her confirmation as Secretary of State, Rice pioneered the policy of Transformational Diplomacy directed toward expanding the number of responsible democratic governments in the world and especially in the Greater Middle East. That policy faced challenges as Hamas captured a popular majority in Palestinian elections, and influential countries including Saudi Arabia and Egypt maintained authoritarian systems with U.S. support. She has logged more miles traveling than any other Secretary of State. While in the position, she chaired the Millennium Challenge Corporation's board of directors.

In March 2009, Rice returned to Stanford University as a political science professor and the Thomas and Barbara Stephenson Senior Fellow on Public Policy at the Hoover Institution. In September 2010, Rice became a faculty member of the Stanford Graduate School of Business and a director of its Global Center for Business and the Economy.
