College Republicans Threaten California University Over $17K Security Fee For Shapiro Speech

On Monday, the College Republicans of the University of California, Merced, sent a letter to Chancellor Dorothy Leland warning that they would file suit against the university for charging a $17,000 security fee for Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro’s April 12 speech.

The College Republicans are represented by Freedom X, which wrote that the university’s actions “violate fundamental principles of free speech, equal protection, and due process guaranteed by the United States Constitution.”
