Florida International University has penalized seven students for a silent protest held in March inside the audience of a campus event. The students wore shirts reading “ICE OFF FIU,” and FIU cited violations of an indoor expressive-activity policy. The penalties require students to record videos about the policies FIU says they violated. Students argue the requirement could function as compelled speech because it may force them to express views they disagree with, while also raising concerns about how consistently the policy is enforced. FIU defended the action as viewpoint-neutral enforcement aimed at protecting academic spaces from interference. An attorney for the students said the punishment violates First Amendment constraints on compelled expression in a public institution setting.
