SAN FRANCISCO (J. The Jewish News of Northern California via JTA) \u2014 A speech by Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz at the University of California, Berkeley, may be blocked because organizers did not give campus police the required eight-week notice for the event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dershowitz\u2019s lecture, tentatively titled \u201cThe Liberal Case for Israel,\u201d is planned for Oct. 10. But Rabbi Gil Yosef Leeds, director of the Chabad Jewish Student Center, which is sponsoring the lecture along with the pro-Israel student club Tikvah, said Thursday that an initially approved 500-seat classroom was pulled because of the advance notice requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs of last night, Berkeley had reserved a large campus lecture hall for us, but because of a newly instituted policy requiring [giving] UCPD 8 weeks advance notice, so far they have denied on-campus space,\u201d Leeds said in an email. \u201cThe semester isn\u2019t even eight weeks old.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dershowitz, who could not be reached for comment, said on TV\u2019s \u201cFox & Friends\u201d Thursday morning that he was being deprived of his free speech rights and accused UC Berkeley of being unfair to pro-Israel speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n

UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof pointed to the school\u2019s Major Events Hosted by Non-Departmental Users interim policy statement announced on Aug. 14, which states that a request form must be submitted to campus police \u201cat least eight weeks prior to the event\u201d for audiences of more than 200 people.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf they wish to host Mr. Dershowitz 12 days from now on Oct. 10, we have offered the students a number of venues that can accommodate an audience of 199 people,\u201d Mogulof said in an email. \u201cIf, however, having a larger audience is more important to the hosting student organization than holding the event on the date they initially proposed, we would be happy to work with them to reschedule the event for a day at least eight weeks from now so that we can maintain compliance with policy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mogulof said the policy applies only to nondepartmental applicants. That means a speaker hosted by a UC Berkeley department would not have to follow the guidelines. Leeds said among his follow-up strategies is to seek a UC Berkeley department to sponsor the lecture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dershowitz, an emeritus professor of law at Harvard, wrote \u201cThe Case for Israel\u201d in 2003 and often addresses the issue on college campuses, including an event on Wednesday night at Columbia University in New York.<\/span><\/p>\n

His bid to speak at UC Berkeley is the latest in a series of recent free-speech disputes on campus. Several right-wing speakers, including Ben Shapiro, editor of DailyWire.com, have visited the campus amid high security, student protests and accusations that the campus was shutting out right-leaning speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leeds is confident the Dershowitz lecture will take place.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure it\u2019s on,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just a matter of how this will play out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
