THOMAS, Circuit Judge:

In this appeal, we consider whether the University of Oregon violated the plaintiffs' free speech and associational rights by requiring them, as a condition of matriculation, to pay incidental fees that contributed to the support of the Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group Education Fund. We hold that the plaintiffs' First Amendment rights were not violated, and affirm the judgment of the district court.
