Florida International University imposed two-year suspensions banning two former College Republican leaders from campus following exposure of racist, sexist, and antisemitic WhatsApp group chat content. The sanctions extend to Abel Carvajal and Dariel Gonzalez, who held leadership roles in FIU-affiliated student groups and were accused of participating in violent rhetoric. FIU’s investigation followed reporting that described hundreds of racist and dehumanizing messages, including discussions about harming Black people and targeting Jewish students. The university charged Carvajal and Gonzalez under its student conduct code, citing an “affirmative act” facilitating violations and verbal or written abuse, threats, and coercion that allegedly endangers well-being. The students argued FIU violated free speech protections; a court initially dismissed a complaint as the campus punishment and appeals process was still pending. Both students are now appealing through the courts, setting up continued legal review of how student conduct policy intersects with protected speech in higher education. The case adds to a broader climate of campus discipline disputes that can affect how universities structure conduct enforcement, due process timelines, and public accountability for hate-related rhetoric.
