The Young America’s Foundation (YAF) scored a major free speech victory Monday over the University of California-Berkeley. 

Townhall reports a court ruled in favor of a YAF suit, saying the university must pay the group $70,000 and rescind policies that discriminate against conservative speakers on campus.

Not only did the court rule in favor of free speech, but also ordered Berkeley to rescind policies such as afternoon “curfews” on conservative speech, bans on advertisements for conservative campus lectures, and relegating conservative speakers to remote lecture halls on campus.

YAF also said “The policy that allowed Berkeley administrators to charge conservative students $20,000 for security to host Ben Shapiro—an amount three times greater than the fee charged to leftist students—is gone.”
