The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and its student government led by Gupta have violated the First Amendment by freezing funds for 33 student media organizations, dissolving the student-run television station, and threatening to punish students involved in a constitutionally-protected controversy. UCSD is detracting from its message of moral outrage by committing so many violations of the First Amendment,” said Foundation for Individual Rights in Education Vice President Robert Shibley. “UCSD now must undo the damage to free speech and resist the pressure to punish protected expression.”
