Nevertheless, an informal poll taken Monday by campus publication North by Northwestern found that 90 percent of respondents thought Sessions should be allowed to speak on campus.
> “I’m just gonna tell you: This is stupid. This is not right,” Sessions said at one point, according to tweets posted by Northwestern student journalists. “This great university … should not be putting up [with] this kind of trash.”
> Video posted online shows protesters trying to enter the building from a rear entrance – until a group of police officers intervenes.
Afterward, photos posted online showed the former U.S. senator from Alabama being escorted from the building by security officers.
