Austin Tong, a rising senior at Fordham University in New York, has been restricted from campus and forced to undergo what he described as “political reeducation” over Instagram posts deemed hateful and threatening by university officials.

In a June 14 letter Austin Tong shared with The Epoch Times, Fordham University Dean of Students Keith Eldredge notified Tong that he had been found in violation of “regulations relating to bias and/or hate crimes” and for “threats/intimidation” because of two Instagram posts he made last month.
