They had sent a ticket refund to CalGuns Foundation director Josh Berger saying his presence at their event wasn&#8217;t &#8220;appropriate&#8221; even though it was being held on the campus of a state-owned law school.<\/p>\n<p>My, my, my, what a difference a week makes.<\/p>\n<p>Elise K. Traynum, General Counsel and Secretary to the Board of Directors at UC Hasting College of Law, has sent Josh a letter informing him that if the event is held on their campus, he must be allowed to attend.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<i>Dear Mr. Berger,<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>In addition to the UC Hastings\u2019 nondiscrimination policies, the College has a longstanding<br \/>\ncommitment to a culture of free and open inquiry,<br \/>\nspirited debate, and the exploration of diverse ideas. We believe in the<br \/>\n &nbsp;fundamental right and responsibility to foster and protect rational<br \/>\ndiscourse in an environment marked both by the rigorous<br \/>\n challenge of ideas and by tolerance for the expression of multiple<br \/>\nviewpoints.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>This afternoon I informed Ms.<br \/>\nThomas, the Executive Director of the Law Center to Prevent Gun<br \/>\nViolence, that you must be allowed to attend the October 25 event if it<br \/>\nis held on the College campus.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Thank you for your correspondence.&nbsp; <\/i><\/p>\n<div>\n<br \/>\n<i>Elise Traynum<\/i><br \/>\n<i><br \/>\n<i>General Counsel and Secretary to the Board of Directors<\/i><br \/>\n<i>University of California<\/i><br \/>\n<i>Hastings College of the Law<\/i><\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<i>198 McAllister Street<\/i><\/div>\n<div>\n<i>San Francisco, California<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\nThe ball is now in the Law Center&#8217;s court. Do they move the event or do they allow their delicate ears to hear opposing voices? Decisions, decisions.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy to see that Hastings College of Law did the proper thing even though, to be honest, they didn&#8217;t have much choice given that they are a state supported school.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may remember my post from last week about how the Legal Center to Prevent Gun Violence (sic) did&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[515,1834],"class_list":["post-2914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-calguns-foundation","tag-law-center-to-prevent-gun-violence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2914"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2914\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8427,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2914\/revisions\/8427"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
