Just realized flyers for a campus debate got pulled down overnight

My friend at State U was organizing a panel on zoning laws. Put up 30 flyers around the quad on Tuesday. By Wednesday morning, all of them were gone. Campus facilities said they didn't remove them. The student activities office said the flyers 'lacked proper pre-approval for content'. The event was about housing policy, nothing extreme. This feels like a quiet way to stop a conversation before it starts. Has anyone else had an event shut down over a paperwork excuse?

Maybe @blair_allen is onto something with the admin thing...

My buddy tried to host a talk about campus parking rates and got hit with the same "pre-approval" loophole the day before.

Sounds like a classic admin move... hiding behind rules to avoid a real talk.
