Naples News: Ave Maria University bans critical blogger from parts of campus

AVE MARIA — A writer and blogger who has been critical of Ave Maria University has been barred from most of the university’s campus.

Two days after she asked questions at a town government meeting, Marielena Montesino de Stuart was told by a university spokesman she was not allowed on university property or to attend a press conference announcing a $4 million donation from New York billionaire Tom Golisano. When she tried to go anyway, the university had Collier County Sheriff’s deputies waiting to say that they would arrest her if she persisted.
