Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill

If a university has a group of people who want to hold a meeting, or if an academic wants to bring a speaker in, and the purpose is to challenge vociferously something which the Government have done, could that not conceivably constitute non-violent extremism? Could the university not, under the directions to be issued by the Secretary of State, find

itself in a position where it has to determine whether or not it allowed that meeting to take place? That is all I was saying.
