LePage apologizes for storming away from university event
Source: Bangor Daily News
AUGUSTA, Maine After an abrupt departure from a dedication ceremony at the University of Maine at Farmington on Tuesday where he called two students idiots, Gov. Paul LePage apologized to the universitys president and former president on Wednesday.
Reacting to a pair of signs held by students Nick Bray and Allyson Hammond, LePage cut short his speech during a ceremony to rename a building for former UMF President Theo Kalikow.
First and foremost, I apologize to President [Kate] Foster and especially to Theodora Kalikow for the sequence of events on Tuesday, LePage said in a prepared statement. I was humbled to be invited to speak at a ceremony to honor Theodora Kalikow and recognize the great legacy she has left the University of Maine at Farmington, as well as its faculty, staff and students.
But LePage also admonished the protesters and accused them of showing disrespect for Kalikow and the university.
