White nationalist Richard Spencer will speak at the University of Florida — and UF is spending $500,000 on police presence to keep students safe

The University of Florida expects to spend $500,000 on security for a speech by white nationalist Richard Spencer.
Spencer, a far-right figure, attended the Charlottesville protests, and pledged to speak at other colleges.
There will be more police on the UF campus than in any other time in the school’s history.

The University of Florida is bracing for protests ahead of a scheduled speech Thursday by white nationalist leader Richard Spencer.

Spencer has made a name for himself in the alt-right community, espousing racist views on college campuses and on a website he created in 2010 called altright.com.
