Former NYPD Commissioner Gives ‘Disinvitation Dinner’ Speech that Brown University Students Shut Down

Share this article

This speech was given at Yale, not Brown, especially after Brown University students shut down former Commissioner Kelly’s speech:

Two-and-a-half years after Brown University students shut down his campus lecture, former New York Police Department Commissioner Raymond Kelly finally got to tell students about “proactive policing.”

Kelly was honored by Yale’s William F. Buckley, Jr. Program at its second annual “Disinvitation Dinner” at the Plaza Hotel on Thursday night. Last year’s inaugural dinner honored columnist George Will, who was disinvited from speaking at Scripps College.
