One year ago University of Florida student Andrew Meyer had his now infamous run in with campus police during a town hall forum given by former presidential candidate John Kerry. Meyer’s microphone was cut during a question and answer session by student government event organizers after he asked Mr. Kerry about his involvement with Skull and Bones (a secret society at Yale, which his opponent George W. was also supposedly involved in). Now UF is making changes to the way they handle speakers and question and answer sessions on campus.
