As Riley Gaines prepares to speak at a Real Women's Day event at Penn State, one professor at the university appeared to say she spreads 'hateful messages.'
As Riley Gaines prepared to speak at Penn State University, it is becoming apparent some faculty at the university did not want her there. Gaines said Monday night her speech was 'canceled.' But in a statement to Fox News Digital, Penn State clarified that 'no event featuring Riley Gaines has ever been canceled at Penn State.
In an email obtained by Fox News Digital, a professor wrote to her students that the university is having a 'Dignity Day' event. The professor's email states that it is a two-hour 'community-wide celebration of dignity' beginning at 5:30 p.m. ET. Gaines' event is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. With the two events coinciding, the professor said Dignity Day can 'counter the hateful messages espoused by' Gaines.
University leaders learned Monday evening via social media that Gaines is coming to the University Park campus Oct. 10. 'Penn State staff have been working with the student organization to see to it that they can host a safe event under university policies and within their First Amendment rights.'
