How should Auckland Uni respond to white supremacist posters?

Josephine Franks Reporter from Central Leader

Kia ora neighbours, Auckland University students, staff and alumni have condemned the university for refusing to remove white supremacist material from campus.

The university said it would not take down posters and stickers pointing to the website of a white supremacist group, citing free speech.

Staff have signed an open letter saying white supremacy has no place on campus, and alumni say they won't be donating to the university over the handling of the matter.

Do you think the university should have taken a harder line, or should the posters be allowed to remain?
