What's unreasonable about equitable treatment? Why wasn't the Black Power fist student expelled for similarly racist and threatening actions?
Make a thread about the OU not enforcing their code of conduct equitably as this one is about a group of students who violated OU's code of conduct.
Two wrongs dont make a right, you argument is absurd. What black power did is irrelevant to the fact these students violated a code of conduct they agreed too.
Students have a right to an education without disruptions as well.
If you believe that applies in this case, the Black Power fist student should similarly be expelled. He committed his racist act ON CAMPUS, while the racist frat boys committed their act on a privately chartered bus on the way to a private social event.
So, when you waive your right to counsel or to remain quiet when questioned by police, that's unconstitutional? You can and do waive your rights all the time....
If you were required to waive those rights in order to have your case tried in court, you can damn well bet they'd be unconstitutional.

That would fall under a time/place/manner restriction. How does that apply to kids on a bus miles away from any classroom?

Code of Conduct applies to the student not the place they are at.

That only applies is you find the Black Power fist threatening. For many people, it's empowering.
