YIANNOPOULOS STILL COMING TO BERKELEY

CALIF.» The student BERKELEY, group planning to hold a “Free Speech Week” at the University of California at Berkeley canceled the event, university officials said Saturday, the day before it was expected to begin.

The plans had been closely watched because a controversial speaker, writer Milo Yiannopoulos, had been shut down by violent protests in February and had vowed to come back. In the months since, the school faced continuing fights over free speech and hate speech, and the surrounding community had bloody clashes between extremists on the far left and the far right.

On Saturday afternoon, Yiannopoulos wrote in an email, “I’ve just been told that student group the Berkeley Patriot, under pressure from the administration, is withdrawing its sponsorship of Free Speech Week. The students may have pulled out of Free Speech Week but I and my speakers have not.”
