The answer is the university can get away with it as long as no one takes them to court. I suspect the students will simply find another college.
It appears that they have been given some good common sense advice--apologize and then get out of the public eye and try to minimize the damage of their idiotic behavior, and hope it doesn't follow them for the rest of their lives. Which won't be easy in this digital age, where everything you do follows you forever.
But fighting their expulsion and/or suing the university will only keep them in the public eye for that much longer, and make certain that people who hadn't heard about it before will be exposed to it then. Accompanied by a YouTube video which would be aired again and again and again during the course of the trial.
The best these guys can hope for is to slink away quietly and do good things going forward to overshadow their bad behavior here.

I doubt they'll take this to court, for those very reasons.
So when the media shows this video on the news, are we as blacks supposed to be upset and ruin the rest of our day? Because after I watched the video I carried on with my day so I didn't care anything about it.
"I am deeply sorry for what I did Saturday night," Rice said in the statement. "It was wrong and reckless. I made a horrible mistake by joining into the singing and encouraging others to do the same. On Monday, I withdrew from the University and sadly, at this moment our family is not able to be in our home because of threatening calls as well as frightening talk on social media."
