Flip-flop: University will show ‘American Sniper’

By Around the Web

(Fox News) The University of Michigan said late Wednesday that it will show the film “American Sniper” as originally scheduled after a protest by students and staff caused the screening to be scrapped.

University Vice President for Student Life E. Royster Harper called the decision to cancel the Friday night showing a “mistake” in a statement.

“The initial decision to cancel the movie was not consistent with the high value the University of Michigan places on freedom of expression and our respect for the right of students to make their own choices in such matters,” Harper said. “The movie will be shown at the originally scheduled time and location.”
