College Republicans sue University of Florida's president over deactivation of its chapter

College Republicans at the University of Florida are suing the school president over what they call an unlawful crackdown on free speech. The group filed the federal lawsuit in Gainesville on Monday. It asks a judge to block the chapter’s deactivation and restore access to campus facilities. The university says the Florida Federation of College Republicans disbanded the chapter after it found members broke its rules. Officials cited an alleged antisemitic gesture. The university says it can help reactivate the group under new student leaders. The dispute comes after another Florida campus launched a probe into racist or antisemitic chats by students involved in another GOP group.
