The Federal Election Commission is beginning an investigation whether colleges violated a ban on corporate donations to political campaigns by allowing filmmaker Michael Moore to appear on their campuses during last fall's presidential-election campaign and paying him a speaker's fee. David T. Hardy, an Arizona lawyer, filed two complaints with the FEC about Moore's college tour. In his complaint, Hardy quoted from Moore's speeches including one at Wayne State University where he said, "We're visiting all 20 battleground states, and our goal is to remove George W. Bush from the White House."
