Oh for the good ol' days of simple, somewhat vague honor codes and codes of conduct where a few administrators could, without much ado, issue a reprimand or explusion or something in-between.
I see the issue framed better as one of legality vs civility (of both language and behavior) than one of legality vs morality. Neither the law nor an institution is capable of specifying a specific moral code that would have any chance of being accepted by an entire, e.g., university community. A good code of conduct, made public to all applicants and highlighted on a university website, does not have to allow all the freedoms of the Constitution. An explicit call for the genocide of any group, whether by an individual, a group of individuals or an organization should be subject to censure and penalty, as would other acts of harrassment, uncivil physical or verbal intimidation, etc.
