College Republicans Hit With Fee and, Like With Taxes, Don't Want to Pay

The University of Wisconsin College Republicans are crying foul over $1,300 in security fees for an October David Horowitz event, the Badger Herald reports. The student group is refusing to pay the "absolutely ridiculous" amount for beefed-up security services at an appearance by the controversial conservative speaker—an event that ended peacefully. Some, such as a Republican state senator, claim the fees are effectively silencing right-wing voices, while school officials defend the security fee policy. The two sides plan to talk it out in the near future.
