on a public university campus (University of Wisconsin, Madison) before, during and after one of her infamous private, by invitation only, events.

Pedestrians kept at least a block away from Hillary's Madison event.
At her typical exclusive fundraisers, held in gated private estates, we see photos of cops directing traffic, but people have been able to assemble on public streets to watch her arrive and depart, and even to wave a few signs and demonstrate. No mas, boss!
In Madison, the entire block surrounding the venue will be "closed to pedestrians", not to mention vehicular traffic. We're talking public sidewalks and streets in the heart of a state university. We're talking a Monday afternoon on the first day of classes after spring break.
Hey! Hillary don't need no stinkin' right of assembly or freedom of speech in her America!
Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will speak in Madison on Monday, two days after her Democratic opponent, Bernie Sanders, drew a large crowd here and touted his campaign's momentum.
Clinton will make remarks to invited guests at UW-Madison's Gordon Commons, 770 W. Dayton Street, at 3:45 p.m. Doors open at 2:45 p.m. A UW-Madison news release says the event is not open to the campus community or the public.
Because of Clinton's appearance, Lake Street will be closed to traffic between Dayton and Johnson streets, starting at about noon, and to pedestrians after 3 p.m., until the event is over.

42. Clinton event blatant violation of UW policy requiring it be open to public.
According to the University's own, formal announcement of this Clinton event, the Clinton campaign is in blatant violation of university policy, which CLEARLY AND EXPLICITLY STATES THAT SAID EVENT BE PUBLIC!
Paragraph 5 of the university's statement of policy states:
During an election campaign, such as the primary or general election, each
recognized candidate for public office may hold one public meeting at a
University auditorium. In addition, each political party may hold one public
meeting at a University auditorium on behalf of its candidates for national office,
and one public meeting on behalf of its candidates for statewide office.
