Florida International University sanctioned seven students for a silent indoor protest by requiring them to record videos about policies FIU said they violated. The March protest involved students in the audience of a campus event wearing shirts reading “ICE OFF FIU,” WLRN reported. FIU’s policy cited bans on indoor “expressive activities,” and an FIU spokesperson said the rules apply consistently regardless of viewpoint. An attorney representing the students argued the punishment amounts to compelled speech, saying public universities cannot require students to express opinions they disagree with. The dispute spotlights how campus protest regulation intersects with constitutional standards, enforcement consistency, and compliance risks—especially when penalties require additional speech or content production by students.
