"Cockburn claimed that Peter Seguin, vice president of food and beverage for the centre, told him the centre has a policy banning hip-hop and rap."

Can anybody offer any reasonable explanation for this? I just can't understand...the students voted for Nas to perform at this Rock the Vote event. By cancelling Nas, do they think that is going to influence young Canadians to vote?

Any comments?
it tells you the reason in teh article
