In this The College Fix article, Gabrielle Temaat reports that UCLA Law is under Senate scrutiny after conservative students were allegedly warned against publicly identifying left-wing hecklers who disrupted a Federalist Society event.
- U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt, chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on the Constitution, sent a letter to UCLA Chancellor Julio Frenk and Law Dean Michael Waterstone demanding answers over what he called potential First Amendment and civil rights violations.
- The controversy stems from an April 21 Federalist Society event at UCLA Law that was reportedly disrupted by left-wing student activists through shouting, heckling, loud noises, and a walkout.
- According to the report, Assistant Dean Bayrex Martí warned Federalist Society students that they could face discipline if they publicly released the names of the protesters who disrupted the event.
- Martí later walked back the warning, but a Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression attorney said the response still failed to clearly guarantee that the conservative students would not be punished.
- Schmitt’s letter argues that publishing truthful information about a public event is protected speech and that UCLA may have attempted to impose an unconstitutional prior restraint.
- The senator asked UCLA to explain whether it still intends to punish students for identifying event disruptors and to review its free speech policies.
- Schmitt also called for an investigation into Martí and any other administrators involved in what he described as viewpoint discrimination against conservative students.
- The article notes that UCLA Law is already facing other legal challenges involving event cancellations, left-wing threats, and allegations that conservative students were deprived of their civil rights.
- UCLA said it apologized to the Federalist Society students and stated that it does not discipline students for speech protected by the First Amendment.
