Speech Codes on Campus

Colleges should definitely be allowed to ban certain speech on campus. Maybe the literal speech, but more symbolic speech. If you don't agree then maybe after this example you'll change your mind.
"Photographs from Delta Sigma Phi's party showed fraternity members in blackface and KKK costumes. Some even went so far as to simulate the lynching of a member in blackface wearing a T-shirt bearing the name FUBU. (The FUBU line of clothing was created by African Americans and marketed "FOR US BY US.")" ("Jim Crow on Fraternity Row", Tolerance.org).
This speech was clearly not showing a political idea, rather poking fun at the African American race. One picture has a white guy with black face paint on and a rope around his neck. These actions are not only wrong because they are incredibly insensitive, but because they portray illegal hate crimes that target a specific race. These reasons are why this type of symbolic speech should be banned on campus.
DePaul University, a college I hope to attend, is one of the many colleges that have these so called speech codes. It states that the college has the right to remove any "displays that advertise commercial products/services; advocate the use of alcohol or drugs; are discriminatory; unlawfully harass by abusing, assailing, intimidating, demeaning, victimizing, or having the effect of creating a hostile environment." (Fire.com). This speech code does not affect how I view the college. Although I can see the argument that this infringes on students' First Amendment rights, it does not bother me personally. I see it as the schools responsibility to protect all of its students, obviously including the minorities. On campus, the college should be able to make rules in order to protect its students. If the students don't agree with the college, they don't have to go to that school. If the situation above happened at DePaul, I think DePaul would not seek a harsh punishment for the students who put those pictures up. Instead they would force them to take them down because of the policy I posted above. It says that DePaul has the rights to take down and displays that are discriminatory or show harassment. The students might also get another punishment though for the act of harassment, because those picture portray lynching and other forms of discriminatory and nondiscriminatory harassment. I agree that the school should have the right to take those pictures down for those reasons, and also to carry out a minor punishment for the actions in the pictures.
FIRE, an organization that protects the rights of students, has its own beliefs on when speech codes are acceptable and when they are not. They think all actions displaying one's own ideas should be allowed because they are protected under the First Amendment. However, harassment is not protected and therefore should be banned. I agree with their ideas and think they are fighting for a good cause. However, I also understand why some school have certain speech codes and I personally don't mind them. I do think that some people would feel like their rights were violated and should then join with FIRE to fight for their beliefs.
