Even a public university can decide what they want to do when it comes to punishment for students they admit. You aren't owed an explanation no matter how much

Even a public university can decide what they want to do when it comes to punishment for students they admit. You aren't owed an explanation no matter how much you pretend on the internet to care.
- fallingknife 5y agoA public university has to respect the constitutional rights of it's students though. So there would be very strong legal protection for pro China students. Edit: actually not sure if they are foreign nationals. Maybe someone knows if same applies?
- gameswithgo 5y agoPeople have no problem bending the rules to punish people swiftly if it benefits them. It is only when it would be painful to do the right thing that people insist on their legal limitations.

- ivalm 5y ago> constitutional rights This is a false statement. The only regulation here is title VI and title IX. The administration of a public university is not legally part of the government.
- stale2002 5y ago> The administration of a public university is not legally part of the government. Nope, you are wrong. There have literally been supreme court cases about free speech rights of students. And yes, the supreme court has found that it is possible for a public school to break the 1st amendment rights of students.
- nouveaux 5y ago国有国法 家有家规 The issue is of harassment and continued education at Purdue; not constitutional rights. It sounds like the pro China students were harassing Zhihao Kong. Purdue can decide what constitute harassment. 100% it's part of of every contract the student signs and agrees to as a part of their acceptance.
