Penn State spokesman Geoff Rushton said that the university is aware of the campaign to disinvite Mann, but has no plans to cancel the engagement.

“Penn State has a deep commitment to the First Amendment and the principles of free speech and expression,” Rushton said. “Our role as a university is to serve as a marketplace of ideas and by allowing this talk we are protecting the civil liberties of our students, faculty and staff.”
