Hot take: My school hit 15 speakers disinvited in one semester, should we be counting?

That's a really good point about lumping different reasons together. If we're going to count disinvited speakers we should probably sort them by reason so the number actually means something.

Wait is that 15 disinvited speakers or 15 separate speaking events that got canceled? Because those are two very different numbers and one sounds way worse than the other. I think people are lumping a bunch of different reasons together when they say "disinvited" too. Like a speaker getting removed for saying something racist is not the same as a speaker canceling because their flight got messed up or the school ran out of budget. We should probably be counting the reasons too, not just the total number.
