Conservative author and commentator Ann Coulter is coming to the University of Colorado later this month to speak at an event hosted by the Boulder campus’ chapter of Turning Point USA.

Coulter is scheduled to appear at 7 p.m. March 21 in Chem 140, according to a Facebook post by conservative group Turning Point USA.

The event is free, and tickets will be distributed next week on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Coulter also appeared at CU in 2003, and spoke about the Iraq War before a crowd of about 2,000 people at Macky Auditorium.

A well-known and at times controversial social and political commentator, the 56-year-old Coulter has written 12 books, most recently “Adios, American!” and “In Trump We Trust.”

The conservative pundit’s visit comes in the wake of historically liberal CU taking another look at its free speech policies.
