I'm not characterizing the situation fairly? Then I'd be fascinated to hear how you explain away the first sentence of the article:

"The University of Toronto has told a white nationalist group they are not welcome to hold a rally on campus."

The U of T didn't say they would evaluate the group's application when they received it. They point-blank said that the group wasn't welcome. Accompanying that was the president's message today specifically referencing the events in Charlottesville. 

As president of the U of T, Meric Gertler must approve of the Canadian National Party being denied permission to speak at the university. On what grounds, he doesn't say. But when he simultaneously says, “The academic community must continue to condemn acts of violence, intimidation, and the fostering of hate,” Gertler is making a clear and baseless connection between the CNP and such unlawful activities. Please don't embarrass yourself by denying it.
