If you have a take-home exam that specifically forbids collaboration and you take it home and talk to your friends about it, is that a violation worthy of disciplinary action?These were students in a private settling singing a racist song. They weren't in front of a schoolhouse door.
It is absolutely,100%,1st Amendment protected ass-hattery.
After all, the Constitution gives you the right to assemble, free speech and press. You should be able to meet you friend, talk to him or send him a letter. So collaboration on the test doesn't violate Constitutional rights but it violates the Student Code of Conduct no matter if it happened on campus, in dorms or on private property.
