That is not really a fair characterization of the situation. Some people at the university wanted to hear what the speaker had to say. That is why the speaker was invited to the campus. Other people didn't want the speaker to speak at the university. So they created a civic disturbance, including some amount of violence, to prevent the speaker from being able to speak.
It is not accurate to say that the students at the university didn't want the speaker there. Some students at the university didn't want the speaker there. Other students did want the speaker there. Many didn't care, probably.
So what happens if you think through your argument with the idea that different people at the university have different opinions?
