LINCOLN, Neb. - Safety concerns have forced University of Nebraska-Lincoln officials to cancel plans for William Ayers to speak on campus.
Ayers, who founded a group in the late 1960s that claimed responsibility for bombing several government buildings, was to speak Nov. 15.
But officials said Friday the university's threat assessment group received e-mails and phone calls over the last day or two that identified safety issues.
When asked about details of the concerns, including if they contained threats against Ayers, University spokeswoman Meg Lauerman declined to comment further.
"We don't discuss the specifics of any threat assessment on campus," she said.
Ayers, a University of Illinois at Chicago education professor, was invited by UNL's College of Education and Human Sciences because of his expertise in research related to small schools and urban education.
He also is vice president-elect of curriculum studies at the American Educational Research Association.
Ayers founded the Weather Underground in the late 1960s, which claimed responsibility for nonfatal bombings of the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol.
Friday's announcement comes after Gov. Dave Heineman and others asked the university to rescind its invitation.
"Bill Ayers is a well-known radical who should never have been invited," Heineman said earlier Friday. "The people of Nebraska are outraged.
"This has gone beyond the University of Nebraska. It's gotten to citizens all across this state, and they're not happy because this is a public university."
Heineman called on NU President J.B. Milliken and Chuck Hassebrook, chairman of the NU Board of Regents, to tell Ayers to stay home.
OOHH! That really pisses me off! 11/15 is my most adored and sainted Mother’s Birthday! We could not shop at CVS which was then “Consumer’s Values Store” because they were bought and paid for by S.D.S. STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY!!
My Brother was A-1A at 19 and my sis was at a liberal college.
Walter Schroeder was a Policeman here in MA and was MURDERED
by William Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn. The Armory in Newburyport was robbed and Horrible things were happenning here..
Like Aloha Ronnie..
I WILL NEVER FORGET!
Treat the terrorists like sh*t, not plumbers.
Cheers!
Bill POS Ayers BUMP!
Safety concerns have forced University of Nebraska-Lincoln officials to cancel plans for William Ayers to speak on campus.What, they just now discovered that Ayers likes to set off bombs?
I live here in Lincoln....and all the news for the past two days has been about this terrorist nut coming to speak at the university...and the calls into the radio stations and the letters to the newspapers were all going crazy about how the university would invite this #*@%head to give a talk. I can assure you of two things: 1) the alum were BIG time talking about stopping their donations, and 2) the state auditor was all over this thing investigating if state tax bucks were being used for this nut. MAYBE there were actual “threats” made, but definitely those other two things spoke out real BIG time here. Good riddance to Ayers!....and it should also be good riddance to at least the Dean of the university’s college of education who did the invitation!
Ayers, needs to suffer the same fate (Karma, if you will) that he inflicted upon his victims.
The Governor has guts.
If the mainstream would cover this incident with the attention it deserves....pigs would fly over Omaha.
They are coming from the football fan community — even made it to the sports message boards that Osborne was up in arms about the visit as well. That is a rumor going around that maybe a Husker fan can clear up.
You are the people they hope will go away...But thankfully you do not forget. Tell your children, your grandchildren and your great grandchildren. That is the only way to keep these Marxists out of our culture and government.
His father, Tom Ayers, was very wealthy and head of the Utility in Chicago. He gave tons of money to the universities that employed his son, Bill Ayers, and was a former member of the Regents for Northwestern where Dohrn is a professor — not sure if she is still an adjunct or a full professor.
Just to let you know it was not Obama’s Presidential campaign that was started in Ayers’ living room. It was his IL Senate bid, and the launch of his entire political career back in 1995.
I wish I still lived close enough to help - I’d definitely be there...

They probably just saved that man’s life.

The only people Ayers has to fear are Obama operatives (wearing
McCain/Palin sweatshirts) that might rough him up a bit using that
old tactic of a “fake hate crime”.
Thus giving Obama an opportunity to say “Have the McCain/Palin
supporters no honor? Now they are attacking an unarmed university professor!”.
Trust me, somehow Obama and Co. would find a way to bootstrap an
attack on a white guy as a “hate crime”. I.e., hate for his contemptible
ideas and actions.
That Greta. She’s a real news hound ain’t she?
As long as we're going to invest the time, where exactly is the Obama campaign HQ, other than zip 60616? How many men of God can we find, and how do we locate seven shofars?
This man and his minions are a fortified city and the walls need to be taken down, in Jesus' name. It doesn't need to be a big publicity thing, God knows we're doing it, and the devil knows we're doing it. March around it once a day for seven days, then seven times the seventh day. Then shout, and praise God for the victory!
You think I'm kidding, don't you?
