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.
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?
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.
