[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankel v UCLA-
UCLA allowed protestors to stop Jewish students from entering buildings/crossing parts of campus unless they verbally disclaimed Israel's right to exist.    That is conduct, not speech, you get to shout hate but you don't get to block or limit other students access to campus.  These offenders were subject to the school's code of conduct and should have been expelled or otherwise prevented (i.e. arrested if needed).  Straight up discrimination on the basis of religion/national origin not speech and not protected [/quote]
Nearly every reasonable-sized university gets sued many times a year based on allegations that they failed to adequately respond to certain forms of discrimination, and sometimes they are held liable. Here, UCLA settled. But why is the federal government punishing certain universities for a certain kind of discrimination? Why aren't they similarly going after universities who have violated women's Title IX rights? Or those with an abysmal record of accommodating students and faculty with disabilities? And why is the Trump administration seeking to further punish UCLA for between $500mm and $1 billion for this incident, when the DOE under Trump imposed a mere $4.5 million fine against Michigan State in 2019 after it effectively permitted Larry Nassar to sexually abuse literally hundreds of underage girls? Be honest, the Trump administration is punishing UCLA because it allowed the protests to occur in the first place (and because it's in a state that does not vote in his favor). [/quote]
