Auburn University officials will be meeting with student groups over concerns following an Honors College event that included the president of the White Student Union.

The Feb. 26 event included the screening of a documentary on skinheads and white supremacists along with a presentation by the president of the WSU, an Auburn student who uses the alias "Wyatt Mann." Mann was originally set to appear in person at the event but opted instead to deliver his message via Skype audio, concealing his identity.

Mann continued to speak until a student who had entered the room walked to the front and closed the laptop, ending the call, according to online reports.

According to transcripts posted online by the WSU, Mann's talk included long portions on the racial elements of prison rape and espoused a "no-fault divorce" for whites no longer wanting to be in integrated communities.

The meeting drew the attention of a group of faculty, staff and students, who sent a letter to Auburn President Steven Leath and Provost Bill Hardgrave expressing their concerns.

"We are in favor of allowing free speech and a diversity of perspectives on Auburn's campus, and we encourage people from different sides of controversial issues to engage in dialogue and face tough questions," the letter said. "But there is a difference between allowing free speech and sponsoring a hate group, which is what the Auburn White Student Union has been designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center. This group operates in the shadows."

In a statement, the university said it is "committed to creating an inclusive campus environment where all students are welcome and encouraged to engage and thrive."

However, it added, the content of the Honors College event "left some with concerns over its impact on our campus.

"We do not support the beliefs expressed by members of the White Student Union, a group that is not affiliated with the university, nor do we support our campus becoming a platform for the advancement of them. Auburn University will continue to rise to the challenge of learning and demonstrating the merits of productive civil discourse," the statement read.

Last year, a group of AU student organizations called on the university to take a stronger stance against the WSU after it distributed a series of anti-Semitic fliers on campus.

"This group isn't an Auburn student organization, and we find the views expressed in their materials reprehensible and unrepresentative of those of the university," the University said at the time.
