The university is a public school, therefore a government actor. So essentially, it will be the gov't restricting his speech if he is sanctioned for his words.
Ain't that right, @Chris.

“Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”

It was inappropriate for the Member of Congress to yell out at the POTUS as it was disrespectful and not fitting for the office, that is correct and I have always said so, do you think it is inappropriate for Congressmen now who publicly disrespect the POTUS? It really is the same?

Not So and SCOTUS has ruled as much in multiple cases:
The U.S. Supreme Court has long recognized that the right to freedom of expression isn’t quite the same for children at school as it is for adults in other settings. Several lower courts have recognized another principle: The younger the students, the more leeway schools have to control their speech. (By the same token, colleges and universities have less latitude when they try to restrict older students’ speech.)
Schools may restrict students’ speech if it:
- is likely to disrupt school
- is lewd
- promotes illegal drug use, or
- is part of the curriculum or communications sponsored by the school.
The Supreme Court found that the First Amendment didn’t prevent schools from disciplining children for offensively lewd and indecent speech. As the court explained, society’s interest in teaching “the boundaries of socially appropriate behavior” outweighed the student’s right to express his views in a way that was highly offensive.(Bethel School Dist. No. 403 v. Fraser, 478 U.S. 675 (1986).)
Teachers and other school authorities are allowed to censor or change what students write or say in school-sponsored publications (like an official school newspaper or yearbook), school plays, or other activities. (Hazelwood School Dist. v. Kuhlmeier, 484 U.S. 260 (1988).)
There are other examples as well.
Universities are also employers who can restrict what School representatives can say while representing their University, the boy can say all he wants out of uniform.
