"I believe as a student that my First Amendment rights in the Constitution were subverted and attacked," said Miner.

"He'll lose, universities always win theese sorts of fights."

Only because they have more resources for the legal fight.

With the right legal help he has a very good chance at winning. His activity he is being punished for was not related to or controlled by the university so their legal right to sanction him probably is probably non-existant.

The school is violating equal protection by discrimating against him for his religion.

It can, and should be, stripped of all federal funding by fairly clear federal law.

Agreed. However, I do think his choice of "Subhuman" may have been rather undiplomatic. His freedom to speak is less expensive than the cost of his expression to the conservative and traditional way of life.

One can be very effective without resorting to the sharp utensils. It's all about perception.

Yeah, if by nothing else then just grinding this guy down to the point where he quits -- the fight and the university. And all will be as before.
