Maybe. But unless they're actually threatening her, they're not doing anything wrong or illegal. Otherwise you're just limiting one person's actual right to free speech to protect what someone only thinks is their right to free speech.

I disagree.

I'll admit, I've only seen excerpts from the letter and not the entire text so I may stand corrected but... Speech laws in USA and Canada are different and some of what she's said in the states could probably get her into legal trouble here. Like it or not, that's the truth and not the university's fault. From what I saw, the University informing her of this fact was appropriate and, I think, very courteous. From what I saw, they were doing it to try to avoid a mess.
