The university president seems genuinely discomfited by the First Amendment. From the story:

>The university’s president also sent an email condemning Stevens’ posts.

>“Yesterday, I was made aware of a current student’s Instagram posts pertaining to transgender people,” the president wrote. “I want to take this opportunity to publicly restate my deep personal commitment to promoting social justice.”

>The president went on to suggest that, if possible, the university would take action against Steves. However, the school leader admitted, that effort is hampered by his First Amendment rights.

>“There are clear legal limitations to what a public university can do in response to objectionable speech,” the email stated. “As a result, there are few tools at our disposal to reduce the pain that such speech may cause.”
