Austin Tong is suing Fordham to protect your rights.

Within days, Fordham opened a formal investigation into Tong s Instagram posts, and held a June 10 hearing. More than a month later, on July 14, Fordham notified Tong he had been found guilty of violating university policies on bias and/or hate crimes and threats/intimidation. Tong s probation banned him from physically visiting campus without prior approval and from taking leadership roles in student organizations. (Tong had previously been active in student government as a vice president and student senator.) He was also required to write an apology letter and complete implicit bias training.

They committed the bias, but I m going through bias training, Tong said with a wry laugh. That s funny.

Failure to comply with any of Fordham s terms, Tong s sanction letter stated, would result in immediate suspension or expulsion from the university.

FIRE wrote to Fordham with our objections shortly thereafter.

When Tong immigrated to the United States from China at six years old, his family sought to ensure that he would be protected by the rights guaranteed by their new home, including the freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, wrote FIRE Program Officer Lindsie Rank. Here, however, Fordham has acted more like the Chinese government than an American university, placing severe sanctions on a student solely because of off-campus political speech.
