Questions about Chief Justice William Rehnquist’s record and background have incited debate about the commencement speaker in some corners of the campus.Some have wondered whether a person with an arguably racist background should be permitted to come to campus, while others have questioned bringing a “big name” speaker to speak at commencement.
