The University of California, Berkeley School of Law appears to have averted yet another free speech controversy on the Bay Area campus by inviting retired Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz to speak this month.
Dershowitz had been scheduled to give a talk about Israel to several Jewish student groups on Oct. 10, but university officials declined to make an on-campus location available, saying the Dershowitz event did not comply with a recently adopted policy requiring organizations to give campus police an eight-week notice for any event expected to draw 200 or more people.
