This may have been. Although I think it was not that simple. But even if if was, it is ILLEGAL to do so under the First Admendment. The Administrations used to get away with it, but they won't anymore.

I sincerely doubt that. The university has always had a very serious role in regulating conduct on campus beyond that of the towns in which universities reside. It does so in a myriad of ways. Regulating hate speech is hardly suppressing constitutionally protected free speech. That's about ideas; not hate. We might get a different definition of the boundaries of such protections.

In actual practice, these codes are being used by the minority/gender students to oppress other students.

Of course, I shouldn't ask for the universe of such cases of which you have a representative sample. Nah, I wouldn't do that.
