The organization is called Student Entertainment Events. Their website is see.umd.edu. Look at that and it might give some answers. There are also snippets from The Washington Times and The Washington Times for the same story slanted in different directions.
As I said before, I think it was a good idea to cancel based upon how some (male) students might see the movie, get drunked up, and look to beat upon some Muslim (or Muslim looking) students. College boys do not always have good judgement.
