This is actually the first constructive idea I've heard that seems at all likely to address this issue in a just way without infringing on the free speech rights of the people protesting campus speakers. Well done. The one question I have here is whether the average member of MIT faculty would now thing that an anti-affirmative action essay would be beyond the pale. It doesn't seem too surprising to me if 50%+1 members of such a committee would still vote to withdraw an invitation from this guy. But at least you would be defocusing the external outrage campaign a little, which does not seem like a bad thing.
