The University of Florida is being sued by its College Republicans chapter after the institution shut down the student group last week when a picture circulated on social media of two of its members performing a Nazi salute.
In a lawsuit filed in Gainesville on Monday against UF’s interim president, Donald W. Landry, the group accuses the school of violating its First Amendment rights to free speech and seeks an emergency order to reinstate it and restore its access to campus facilities, funding, and event privileges, according to The Tampa Bay Times.
