University Bias Response Teams: Balancing Student Freedom from Discrimination and First Amendment Rights through Student Outreach	2023	22	.pdf	application/pdf	9726	508	53	In 2015, the University of Oklahoma expelled two students for leading peers in song, which included a racial slur and lyrics referencing lynching, as well as the statement that their organization would never admit Black students.6 Free speech scholars and organizations criticized the decision, stating that it infringed student free speech rights under the First Amendment, while the University President defended the expulsion, arguing that the students created a “hostile” environment.7 In the midst of this tension, federal circuit courts have addressed bias incident response on university campuses through the lens of the First Amendment.8 Specifically, three federal circuit courts have addressed whether campus officials requesting either mandatory or voluntary meetings with students who have allegedly engaged in bias conduct violates student First Amendment rights.9 These court decisions provide insight for campus professionals to analyze their own practices in the face of bias incidents on their respective campuses.10 CONCLUSION College and university administrators are grappling with how to address bias incidents through a delicate balance of student First Amendment rights and student rights to freedom from discrimination.	cache/inlawrev-27135.pdf	txt/inlawrev-27135.txt
