According to the campus newspaper The Daily Titan , Yiannopoulous was paid around $17,000 for his one-hour speech. But the real price tag of the evening event would have to include costs to the univer - sity and taxpayers for extra law enforce - ment deemed necessary due to riots which have broken out at his previous speeches on other college campuses. These incidents have ranged in cost from over $75,000 for 124 officers at his appearance at University of Washington in January to over $800,000 for his 15- minute walk through UC Berkeley in September. Many colleges have canceled his appearances citing the overwhelming security costs involved.
