A lawsuit against UC Berkeley has been filed this week as response to Ann Coulter’s speaking engagement cancellation.
The suit, brought by the Berkeley College Republicans and the Young America’s Foundation claim the university was unconstitutional in its actions. Coulter, who was re-invited to speak at a later date, declined as she believed there would be less students on campus that day.
The conservative author and commentator said she would speak at the originally scheduled time. Was UC Berkeley’s move unconstitutional?
AirTalk reached out to the University of California, Berkeley, for comment but no one was available.
