UC Berkeley in another clash over right-wing speaker

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Former Breitbart editor Ben Shapiro is the latest right-wing pundit who can't speak on the University of California, Berkeley campus under the conditions proposed by a campus Republican group, officials for the university and the student organization said Thursday.

Campus officials have suggested the Republican group use a smaller room, pay a rental fee or even book a free, suitable room for another date, Mogulof said.

The decision came after previous failed efforts to host conservative speakers Milo Yiannopoulos and Ann Coulter led to protests that drew national attention to the university known as the birthplace of the free-speech movement.
