What part of the constitution applies? Which constitution?
People may not like what these guys said, but they broke no laws.
Now they’re going after the house mother for SINGING ALONG to a rap song that used the N word. GMAFB.
I don’t agree with racism but I also believe in freedom of speech as far as the government is concerned (private parties can sue and that’s OK too).
The constitution is usually only implicated if the federal government is involved. If UO is a state university, then it is a question of the state constitution or state laws whether booting them out is illegal. The U.S. Constitutions forbids federal action not usually state action.

The first amendment has the provision to be stupid.
People in positions of authority take punitive action when they are afraid. Most positions of authority today are occupied by extreme to moderate leftists. The students involved struck fear in the leftist power structure so a leftists lashed out.
It’s funny the moral outrage against ‘racism’ is only ever applied to White people. It is only White people would feel shame over it; do you think Blacks, etc. care about charges against them of ‘racism’?
In a sane country this fraternity (think of the origin of that word) would be able to exclude who they liked. The use of a crude racial identifier would be seen as distasteful by many, but otherwise not cause for outrage.
SAE’s were a bunch of pigs when I was in college at FSU and the DELTS were the prissiest sorority on campus. I see not much has changed. LOL! But free speech is free speech and in reality how many blacks would even want to join SAE or whites for that matter. :-)
Does the University tolerate on-campus Palestinian hate groups? Does it allow leftist student groups to shout down conservative speakers? Most universities do these days... it’s only the unPC who need to fear.
Just put them on double secret probation.
Is it legal to expel them for public loutishness?
If every college student who uttered a racist statement, black or white or other were expelled today....there’d be a whole lot of vacant space in our colleges...
