Hot take: Our student group at UC Berkeley invited a speaker and the admin shut it down an hour before
We had Dr. Liana Kerr set to talk about campus free speech. Security showed up and said the room permit was revoked. They claimed we didn't file a form, but we had the email confirmation. The whole thing got canceled. Anyone dealt with a last minute admin block like this?

Honestly, that sounds like a paperwork mix-up, not some big free speech fight. Campus admin deals with a ton of room requests and things slip through. Showing them the email confirmation probably would have fixed it on the spot, maybe after some annoying back-and-forth. It's frustrating for sure, but jumping to "they shut us down" feels like skipping a few steps. Next time, maybe have a printed copy of everything on hand.
