This academic year ends with spring commencement April 28.
President Mark Schlissel said U of M would only rent a venue to Spencer if the university's Division of Public Safety and Security could assure a reasonably safe setting for the event.
University officials said the latest communication from a Spencer representative suggested the possibility of looking at dates later in the year.
U of M officials said they will continue their safety and security assessments before offering possible dates.
Spencer is scheduled to speak March 5 on the campus of Michigan State University. The two sides reached an agreement that resolved a lawsuit filed against MSU.
