Please be advised of Ben Shapiro’s appearance on campus tomorrow, Sept. 27, as well as counter-programming events and protests planned.

The university is working to provide a safe environment on campus for both those who want to attend Ben Shapiro’s speech as well as those opposed to his appearance at the U this month.

Events ranging from a white nationalists’ rally in Charlottesville, home to the University of Virginia, to scheduled appearances of conservative commentator Ben Shapiro at UC Berkeley and the University of Utah have prompted cheers and jeers and many questions about the parameters of the First Amendment.
