Breitbart: The Department of Justice filed a statement at the end of January, claiming that UC Berkeley had violated the First Amendment rights of the university’s College Republicans chapter.
The Department of Justice published a statement on January 25, affirming the belief of the UC Berkeley College Republicans and Young America’s Foundation that the public university had been treating conservative guest speakers unfairly.
The Department of Justice today filed a Statement of Interest in Young America’s Foundation and Berkeley College Republicans v. Janet Napolitano. The plaintiffs, Berkeley College Republicans (BCR) and Young America’s Foundation (YAF), allege that the University of California, Berkeley, enforced a double standard when applied to free speech. BCR alleges that UC Berkeley applied a more rigorous and highly discretionary set of rules to their organization compared to other campus groups, especially with respect to “high-profile” campus speakers.

Pull federal funding, let Berserkeley wither and die.
Kind of ironic when you consider Berkley was the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement in the 60’s.
