George Mason U. Cancels Michael Moore Talk

September 30, 2004 10:40 p.m. EST

By ZINIE CHEN SAMPSON, Associated Press Writer

RICHMOND, Va. - George Mason University on Thursday canceled plans to have "Fahrenheit 9/11" director Michael Moore speak on campus five days before the presidential election.

The decision came after a Republican state legislator wrote a letter to university President Alan G. Merten protesting the Fairfax school's plans to pay the filmmaker $35,000 to speak on Oct. 28.

"We just felt it wasn't the most appropriate use of (public) funds, so we decided the best thing to do was cancel," school spokesman Daniel Walsch said.

George Mason didn't notify Moore before making the decision public, Walsch said. A message left by The Associated Press seeking comment from Moore wasn't immediately returned.

Loudoun County Del. Richard L. Black wrote a letter dated Tuesday urging Merten to reconsider the university's "lavish payment" to Moore, or to cancel the appearance.

"Tax money is being spent poorly, and for partisan purposes," wrote Black, who has one of the General Assembly's most conservative voting records.

Walsch said university officials didn't discuss with Moore whether they would allow him to speak if he waived his fee, nor did they approach student groups or other private organizations to come up with the money.

Moore's film, still playing in theaters, criticizes and ridicules President Bush's response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and his decision to invade Iraq.

Moore will offer to speak for free but they will still decline.

Sorry the fact is that 35K is a piss in the wind, sure it can feed a family for a year, but being on a level of success money really means nothing and life becomes a quest of knowledge.

Why a school would not put up 35K to hear this man speak before thousands of students is insane, infact 35K is dirt cheap.

Its clearly a political decision on the part of the school.

I am sure they would gladly spend 35K to have eddie murphy on stage for an hour though...

How much do you think Clinton is paid for a speech? Or Al Goore ?

And don't get me wrong: I don't compare Moore to Clinton....
