Pennsylvania State University is the latest to be hit with a free-speech lawsuit after rejecting a request for prominent white nationalist Richard Spencer to speak on campus.

According to the complaint, filed Oct. 19 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, plaintiff Cameron Padgett, a Georgia man in charge of coordinating Spencer's campus speaking tour, reached out to the university in July attempting to rent a conference room or lecture hall for a speech by Spencer.

The suit names the Penn State Board of Trustees and university president Eric Barron as defendants.
