BERKELEY, Calif. – Officials at the University of California Berkeley want students organizing a Free Speech Week to pay $100,000 in rental fees and security deposits to protect against violent protestors.

Berkeley Patriot, a student group planning to host a series of conservative speakers Sept. 24-27, submitted a signed contract to school officials for the event on Friday, but have not yet paid the school’s mandatory fees, UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof told the San Francisco Chronicle.

“At the very last minute they signed the contract, but the contract made clear they would also provide payment,” Mogulof said. “To be clear, Berkeley Patriot may still continue with planning its ‘Free Speech Week’ if it is able to confirm its speakers, confirm its schedules, and comply with … security requirements.”

Mogulof said the university is demanding payment because it “cannot defend spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide security arrangements for events based on a press release and inconsistent schedules.”

The “Free Speech Week” is expected to feature conservative speakers including author and political pundit Ann Coulter, former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, and Milo Yiannopoulos, a flamboyantly gay conservative rabble-rouser who was turned away from a scheduled talk at the school in February that sparked a riot by violent far-left students and activists.

Masked anarchists greeted Yiannopoulos by burning police equipment, smashing windows, throwing Molotov cocktails, and other mayhem.

UC Berkeley’s Republican students attempted this spring to invite Coulter to speak, but UC administrators imposed so many restrictions and requirements that they canceled the event and instead sued the school and University of California system for bias against conservatives, the Chronicle reports.

The Free Speech Week, sponsored by the student group Berkeley Patriots, will feature “Feminism Awareness Day,” a “Zuck 2020” day, “Islamic Peace & Tolerance Day,” and “Mario Savio is Dead” – an event scheduled for Wednesday in honor of Mario Savio, “who founded the Berkeley Free Speech Movement in the ‘60s,” according to the event’s website.

Berkeley Patriot invited numerous liberal speakers to take part in the Free Speech Week, and listed those who refused on the website’s “Wall of Shame.”

Yiannopoulos told The Chronicle last week that UC Berkeley “likes to make a big deal that it’s the home of free speech. But it’s certainly the opposite of that.

“Let’s test that premise,” he said.

The Feminism Awareness Day, for example, will feature several male speakers, as well as Lisa DePasquale, author of the upcoming political book “The Social Justice Warrior Handbook: A Practical Survival Guide for Snowflakes, Millennials and Generation Z.”

“We’ll have male-only speakers,” Yiannopoulos told The Chronicle. “We’ll open with a drag queen. Speakers will be telling women what they’ve been doing wrong.”

Islamic Peace & Tolerance Day will also feature several critics of Islam, including Pamela Geller, Raheem Kassam, and David Horowitz to examine “the compatibility of Islam and Western values.”

“They’re trying to make us pay $100,000 in security deposits,” Yiannopoulos said. “We’ll negotiate it down as best we can.”

Mogulof told the news site he’s unsure how much the college is charging Berkeley Patriots for security deposits or to rent both Zellerbach Hall and Wheeler Auditorium, where talks are scheduled to take place throughout the week.

In the meantime, leftist news sites are working to discredit the event by alleging it’s focused on hate speech, not free speech.

“Right-wing speaking events—including the ‘Free Speech Week’ scheduled for late September at Berkeley, featuring the odious trifecta of Yiannopoulos, Coulter, and Steve Bannon—are part of an increasingly coordinated nationwide effort among far-right groups to recruit on college campuses,” according to The Nation. “Using free speech as a wedge to silence dissent and discredit opposition, they intend to radicalize white youth by waging psychological warfare on academic leftists, social-justice organizations, and minorities.”

More than 170 liberal professors on campus are also working to organize a campus wide boycott during the Free Speech Week to ensure students’ “physical and mental safety,” the Chronicle reports.
