On May 16, UCLA blocked YAF from hosting Robert Spencer, a Middle East expert, from countering the preposterous narratives coming from the encamped pro-Hamas mob. Even though UCLA had previously given its approval, just hours before the event the school changed course purportedly due to “security concerns.” YAF is now bringing a lawsuit in partnership with Mountain States Legal Foundation (MSLF) for violating our students’ First Amendment rights.
Date: May 2024
Partner: Mountain States Legal Foundation
Status: YAF is preparing a complaint to file in federal court.
