CSULA Student Association Votes to Fire University President for Allowing Ben Shapiro to Speak

John Bickley

The chaos continues on the California State University – Los Angeles campus following conservative author and Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro’s Feb. 25 speech on “when diversity becomes a problem.” The school’s student association, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), gave an official vote of “no confidence” in the university’s president, calling for his resignation.

CSULA President William Covino has come under fire from social justice activists for his handling of Shapiro’s conservative speech, which the students say was an event that should not have been allowed to proceed because it posed a “safety” concern for the “diverse” campus.
