Last weekend's deadly violence at the University of Virginia is considered a "victory" by strategists for the so-called alt-right.

Colleges and universities are committed to free speech -- whatever the message. So, it's hard to keep speakers off campus — even if there's potential for violence. We look at the strategy of white supremacists and the muted response from leaders of higher education.
