The article links to Pamona’ s First Amendment compliant policy which shows just how little " Hate Speech" can be subject to discipline (for public universities and California privates)

As the policy states Verbal abuse, threats, intimidation, or harassment in the form of speech is not subject to disciple unless

1. the speech is directed at an individual and

actually used in an abusive manner in a situation that presents an actual danger that it will cause an immediate breach of the peace by inciting a violent reaction by the individual to whom the speech is addressed

Or

is offensive to the individual complaining of harassment and offensive to a reasonable person and so persistent, repetitive, pervasive, or severe that it has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual’s academic or professional performance or creating an intimidating, abusive or hostile educational, employment or living environment at the College.

The memes which were intended to be shared only among like minded individuals do not qualify.

It’s intersting to note that Stanford could not do what Harvard did!
