UC
BERKELEY STUDENTS THREATEN TO SUE OVER ANN COULTER VISIT
Associated

BERKELEY, Calif. — The
University of California at Berkeley students who invited Ann Coulter to speak
on campus are threatening to sue the university if it doesn't find a proper
time and venue for the conservative pundit to speak next week.
Harmeet Dhillon, who
represents the Berkeley College Republicans, said in letters sent Friday to UC
Berkeley's Interim Vice Chancellor Stephen Sutton and chief attorney
Christopher Patti that if Coulter is not allowed to give a speech on campus on
April 27 she will file a lawsuit in federal court because the university is
violating the students' constitutional right to free speech.
"It is a sad day
indeed when the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement, is morphing before our
eyes into the cemetery of free speech on college campuses," wrote Dhillon,
a committeewoman to the Republican National Convention for California and
former vice chairwoman of the California Republican Party.
Berkeley officials on
Tuesday informed the Berkeley College Republicans and the nonpartisan
BridgeUSA, which organized the Coulter event, that it was being cancelled due
to security concerns.
The cancellation comes
after a series of violent clashes this year on campus and in downtown Berkeley
between far-right and far-left protesters who come armed with pepper spray,
Molotov cocktails, brass knuckles and soda cans filled with concrete.
Chancellor Nicholas B.
Dirks said that police have "very specific intelligence regarding threats
that could pose a grave danger to the speaker," her audience and
protesters if the event goes ahead next Thursday.
Officials offered an
afternoon event on May 2, when they can offer an "appropriate, protectable
venue" but Coulter rejected it, saying she is not available that day. She
also tweeted, "THERE ARE NO CLASSES AT BERKELEY THE WEEK OF MAY 2."
The period is known as Dead Week, when students are studying for final exams.
Dhillon said the
university offered eight possible venues for the event students had planned to
take place between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. but then abruptly cancelled the event.
Patti said in a letter
to Dhillon that university police and officials have determined neither the
group's free speech nor the safety of the university's 36,000 students can be
safeguarded on April 27.
Coulter has vowed to
speak at Berkeley on that date.
