If free speech doesn't apply to people you dislike then you aren't in favor of free speech.

Again: it does apply. But free speech does not mean no consequences, or the right to a platform. And the ones where it does not apply are generally not the ones featured in the mass media as a response to being "silenced"

But is the University's job to find truth or be a platform for a certain world view?
