A free speech advocate was asked to buy liability insurance because she shares the last name with former President Donald Trump, according to Trinity University.
Cherise Trump, the executive director of Speech First, is not related to the former president, but students would probably assume she is and thus the risk of violence was heightened, according to administrators at the Texas university.
The Free Beacon reported:
When Young Conservatives of Texas asked Trump to speak at Trinity University this month, the school’s director of risk management, Jennifer Adamo, warned about the possibility of “disruption.” The talk posed an “elevated risk,” she told student organizers in a February 20 email, because “there is potential for others to mistakenly believe that Cherise Trump is related to Donald Trump.”
