The University of California, Berkeley canceled a fall senate debate between Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff and Republican Steve Garvey amid campus safety concerns.
FIRST ON FOX: The University of California, Berkeley canceled a fall debate between two California senate candidates in preparation for continued turmoil from continued campus protests. In email correspondence obtained by Fox News Digital, a debate, tentatively scheduled for early fall on the California campus between Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff and Republican Steve Garvey, was canceled after the school determined that they 'did not have the capacity to ensure a safe and civil event.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Garvey said that it was 'terrible' that anti-Israel protesters are 'dictating campus policy' – and preventing educational opportunities. 'It’s terrible how violent, pro-Hamas protesters are dictating campus policy, creating an unsafe environment for students, and preventing unique educational opportunities such as hosting this debate,' Garvey said. Garvey called for college campuses to 'stop pandering' to anti-Israel protesters.
