Young America’s Foundation at the University of Mississippi

Summary

The University of Mississippi canceled the venue for a lecture hosted by Young America’s Foundation (YAF), featuring the conservative journalist, speaker, and radio talk host Elisha Krauss. University officials cited an unwritten policy that they do not allow ideological groups to host events in the venue.

ADF attorneys provided advice and representation to the YAF group in their communications with the University. The University then agreed to allow the YAF group to use the preferred venue for the lecture.
