It’s called “fighting back”.

[Amendment10]

"“This Department of Justice will not stand by idly while public universities violate students’ constitutional rights,” Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand said at the time."

I don’t know the details of this case, but Congress has the constitutional responsibility to make punitive laws to discourage state actors from abridging constitutionally enumerated rights.

From the 14th Amendment:

• "Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

• "Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

So where is Congress and the penal laws for this case?

In fact, it can be argued that Soros paid the settlement fees. Again, I don’t see federal penal laws at work in this judgement.

Corrections, insights welcome.

They will just raise tuition or fees, and keep doing it. But at least it is a victory.

In October, I successfully spoke at UC Berkeley on the need for more free speech and event surprisingly went smoothly.

When the author of the article includes a self-referential statement, proper posting requires the inclusion of the author's name: Lauren Cooley.

I’m not seeing where the University of California, Berkeley is banned from assigning all non-socialist students to ‘double-secret probation’!
