The issue is of harassment and continued education at Purdue; not constitutional rights. It sounds like the pro China students were harassing Zhihao Kong. Purdue can decide what constitute harassment. 100% it's part of of every contract the student signs and agrees to as a part of their acceptance.

People have no problem bending the rules to punish people swiftly if it benefits them. It is only when it would be painful to do the right thing that people insist on their legal limitations.

The student's citizenship makes no difference legally when it comes to First Amendment privileges.

> constitutional rights
This is a false statement. The only regulation here is title VI and title IX. The administration of a public university is not legally part of the government.

Nope, you are wrong. There have literally been supreme court cases about free speech rights of students.
And yes, the supreme court has found that it is possible for a public school to break the 1st amendment rights of students.
Edit: actually not sure if they are foreign nationals. Maybe someone knows if same applies?
