The speech censorship codes are blatantly unconstitutional and the courts should not enforce them, much less allow college bureaucrats to institute and enforce such rules.

Wrong. Private speech censorship codes are outside of the constitution unless the government imposes them. I have a firm rule that anyone coming into my house speaking pig latin is expelled from the premises. Neither the constitution nor the courts of the land have any enforcement powers over this. I don't place any duress on potential entrants to my house - my house, my rules - if you want to enter, follow my rules, or go elsewhere. University of Oklahoma says the same thing, as does every college and university I am familiar with (that's a lot of schools) - our school, our rules.
