“They’ve been denied free speech, at a private gathering no less. They didn’t commit any crime against anyone.”

And that would be why they are not being charged with a crime.

No crime was committed and no one is being denied their First Amendment rights.

Although it's probably a stretch, some enterprising attorney out to make a name for himself could argue that since OU is a public institution... and they were expelled solely on the basis of this incident... that the expulsion represents a suppression of First Amendment rights.

As I've said... it's a stretch... but more outlandish claims have been supported in the courts.
