Thanks for the thoughtful reply. If I had to argue NYU's case, I would say that showing the cartoons was not part of the intellectual content of this event and that the actual discussion was not interfered with. I think they would be wrong, though, for the same reason that it would be wrong to demand that an art history professor teach without showing slides of paintings. In general, source material IS part of the intellectual content of a presentation.
