'Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers': Universal Declaration of Human Rights, United Nations, 1948

"The Pacifica Forum's central purpose is to provide information and perspective on the issues of war and peace, militarism and pacifism, violence and non-violence. It seeks not to persuade, but to inform and clarify, so that people can reach sound, informed conclusions on their own. The Pacifica Forum resists efforts to silence this endeavor." - The Pacifica Forum's original statement of purpose

Following a meeting at the University of Oregon, addressed by the governor of the state, where the Pacifica Forum's first amendment rights were opposed by government officials, the University set new criteria for Forum meetings. They now have to be sponsored by a University department, and agreed to by a vote of the professors in that department. Given the craven pc attitudes of most academics, this is virtually equivalent to denying freedom of speech.
