I know. But when a private citizen rents it, it's no longer a public event. That's why he can have people ejected and keep the press in pensFree said:

Okay. So if you go see Pearl Jam in Charlottesville, on the UVA campus, can EV have you thrown out? The answer is yes because they rented the facility. The JPJ is on a public campus but it isn't open season to you.Free said:

College community wants Trump rally booted from campus
March 10 NEW YORK
Thousands of students are planning to protest Donald Trump when he comes to the University of Illinois' Chicago campus Friday. And many professors don't want him there either. They worry the scene could turn violent.
More than 300 faculty and staff members have asked the college to cancel the event for the leading Republican presidential candidate, citing reports that his supporters and security have verbally and physically assaulted those opposing the candidate at recent campaign rallies.
"We are deeply distressed that this event threatens to create a hostile and physically dangerous environment to the students, staff, faculty and alumni who come out to express their opposition," the letter reads.
Nearly 50,000 people have signed an online petition against Trump coming to UIC. And more than 9,000 have said on Facebook they'll be there to protest.
The petition says the rally has "no place" on a college campus, because "Donald Trump is running on a platform of hate and dangerous intolerance.
As of Thursday, the rally is still on.
While the university is not endorsing Trump, it's renting out the venue to his campaign -- as it would any other political candidate that requested it, Chancellor Michael Amiridis said in a statement.
UIC boasts that it's one of the most diverse college campuses in the nation. A quarter of its 17,000 undergrads are Hispanic, another quarter is Asian and 8% are black. Nearly half come from families whose income is less than $40,000 a year, according to federal data.
Graduate student Jorge Mena Robles started the petition Friday night after Trump's UIC rally was announced. He's an undocumented student who came to the United States with his parents when he was 8 years old.
"I don't want to see Trump threaten my family and friends on the same stage where I received my bachelor's diploma and will receive my master's in May," Robles told CNNMoney.
But it's not just about his platforms. It's also the way protesters have been ejected out of recent rallies and treated by Trump supporters that has some people concerned.
"If this were any other presidential candidate with conservative values, like Cruz or Rubio, we would not have written this letter. This is not about free speech, it's about security," said Latin American studies professor Amalia Pallares.
Just last week, the scene at a Trump rally grew intense when more than two dozen protesters chanting "black lives matter" were ejected. They linked arms, resisting the security officers, and some fell to the ground.0 -
This doesn't prove your point, does it? How is his rally any different than PJ playing on UVAs campus? You still need a ticket to get in. You sit where they tell you and if you are rowdy, Ed had you tossed. Which he did btw at that show.0

You don't get it Russel. We're not talking about a show, we're talking about a presidential candidate, who wants to hold national public office. The public is INVOVED. Holding a rally on a Chicago state campus, which represents the students, faculty & alumni? Yeah, they have a say. This isn't some high priced, private fund raiser.mrussel1 said:

No, you seem to think the rules should be fungible and subservient to your belief system. Just because YOU disagree with someone doesn't mean a private event is no longer private. Now should the chancellor have let Trump rent the joint? Maybe not. But once it's done, it's done. It's s contract. And the rules don't change because you don't like the message. The first amendment protects assholes too.0
