NYU announced it would investigate the complaints, 鈥渁s required by [its] policies.鈥 FIREwrote NYU on April 29 explaining that LSJP鈥檚 statement does not meet the exacting standard for punishable peer harassment and that, because NYU makes strong promises that students enjoy free expression, the university must end its investigation without disciplinary action against students.
