The UF chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, represented by the ACLU, has sued Gov. DeSantis, State University Chancellor Raymond Rodrigues (the head of all public universities), and the president and trustees of UF and moved for a preliminary injunction. As the complaint allegees, Rodrigues, on DeSantis' command, ordered all state universities to deactivate any recognized SJP chapters (USF and UF have chapters). The complaint does not allege that UF has, at this point, done anything in response to that order.
Assume (as seems likely) any move to deactivate UF SJP would violate the First Amendment. Anyone see a standing problem? Does anyone think the court might recognize and take that seriously? Anyone wanting to analyze can email me and I will post here.
