Oregon’s Student Government Discriminates Against Student Group Hosting Pro-Gun Rights Poker Tournament

EUGENE, Ore., November 19, 2015 — Last night, the University of Oregon’s student government denied funding to a student group’s poker night event for a second time amid concerns the event’s pro-gun message and prizes “would make students feel uncomfortable.”

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) wrote to the University of Oregon (UO) before the Associated Students of the University of Oregon’s (ASUO’s) vote yesterday. FIRE explained that ASUO’s refusal to fund a poker night hosted by UO’s chapter of Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) expressly because it disagrees with the event’s message amounts to constitutionally prohibited viewpoint discrimination. FIRE urged the university administration to step in to protect its students’ First Amendment rights.

“ASUO’s budget is subsidized by mandatory fees paid by students,” said FIRE Senior Program Officer Ari Cohn. “As a result, ASUO must distribute its funds in a viewpoint-neutral manner. ASUO has clearly failed to adhere to this obligation. Since ASUO is an agent of a public university, the University of Oregon administration is legally and morally required to intervene to rectify the First Amendment violations perpetrated by ASUO.”

Last night’s vote was the second time ASUO turned down YAL’s request for $950 in funding to cover the cost of pizza and rental fees for its November 20 “Liberty Poker Night.” YAL insisted no ASUO money would go toward covering the controversial prizes awarded to the winners, including three firearms donated by local gun dealers, which YAL says would be transferred to the winners after the event, off-campus, and in accordance with state and federal law. YAL successfully held a similar event in January 2015.
