Sadly, I believe that they would win a lawsuit, based on free speech. However, it is beyond me why they would even want to fight it, knowing they would never ever be able to safely attend class or reside on campus again in the near future. As my Grandmother would say, "their goose is cooked".
I don't follow the "free speech" argument. Wouldn't that be the defense of the school for calling them racists -- which they are? (Truth is the defense for slander/libel.)
It's confusing what they hope to accomplish with this. It wouldn't lead to reinstatement on campus, since the university was within its rights via its code of conduct to take the action it did. Do they want a note saying "We're not racists?" No wonder the lawyer is already shying away in his public statements from taking actual legal action as opposed to just "representing" the two students -- apparently he had a run-in with the university president before, so he seems to mainly just want to be a thorn in his side.

The only way this could look worse for them is if they wore their bedsheets to the hearing.
No one notices that these were dumb freshmen, perhaps excited to be able to use the N word, which they were trained not to use, and getting carried away in doing something forbidden.
However, we get yet another opportunity to see that racism will not go away anytime soon, even though college presidents, etc,want to say it is in the past.
My concern is not the use of the word, but the attitude that holds people down.

What a perfect example of elitist grandstanding. Let these strutting dinosaurs take it to court....it will be a textbook example to show future generations what struggles we had to to endure.
