  No, that there are times, places, and contexts on how to use free speech. If you knowingly and publically associate your name with something offensive, there could be private consequences. Facebook is a public forum that happens to be visible to harvard staff. Students should know this.

    > If you knowingly and publically associate your name with something offensive But the article says it was a private group chat, not public.

      Private from other users, not to facebook or the university. I mean, c'mon. Just because something says "private" doesn't mean it is.

        It was private from the university. The only reason Harvard administration found out about the offensive stuff was because some student in that private chat screenshotted and sent it to them.
