According to Cantor’s office, the Congressman pulled out after discovering that the speech would be open to the public and seeing reports that the university was allowing protestors to gather on the campus itself.

“The Office of the Majority Leader was informed last night by Capitol Police that the University of Pennsylvania was unable to ensure that the attendance policy previously agreed to could be met,” Cantor spokesman Brad Dayspring said in an e-mailed statement. “Wharton is a educational leader in innovation and entrepreneurship, and the Majority Leader appreciated the invitation to speak with the students, faculty, alumni, and other members of the UPENN community.”

In a statement, the school denied that they had changed their rules as to who could attend the event in advance of the speech.

“The Wharton speaker series is typically open to the general public, and that is how the event with Majority Leader Cantor was billed,” the university said
. “We very much regret if there was any misunderstanding with the Majority Leader’s office on the staging of his presentation.”
