Ann Coulter’s Berkeley speech cancelled a day beforehand

‘US conservative commentator Ann Coulter has cancelled a speech at the University of California, Berkeley, after a bitter free-speech row.

On 19 April, school administrators said the risk of violent protests meant they could not provide a safe venue.
Ms Coulter, who had originally vowed to visit the campus anyway, changed her mind after the event’s organisers withdrew their support.
The Berkeley campus has witnessed destructive protests in recent months – not least over a planned appearance by alt-right poster-boy and outspoken Trump supporter Milo Yiannopoulos.
Rather than cancelling Ms Coulter’s speech altogether, university authorities had asked her to hold it next week and at an earlier time, when the risk of clashes was lower.’
