Heads up, NJ college students who want to describe a classmate's legs as "a pair of bleached hams" online—the ">Montclair State University student suspended over his trolling comments can now go back to school! The school's president overturned Joseph Aziz's suspension today, after a civil liberties group stepped in.

Aziz caught the attention of the school after saying that another student's legs resembled "a pair of bleached hams" via a Youtube comment. The school notified him that he violated the school's Student Code of Conduct, which complies with the New Jersey Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act, and ordered him to avoid contact with the student and not post about her online. However, Aziz complained about the punishment on a private Facebook group (Oceanian Troll Order), and one of the other "trolls" reported him to the university, which then handed down a one-semester suspension and note on his transcript.

Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a civil liberties group, argued, "As an agency of the government, Montclair State has no power to order students not to discuss any topic or person on independent social media sites like Facebook. If President Nixon couldn't use prior restraint to stop publication of the Pentagon Papers, why in the world does Montclair State University think it can use prior restraint to stop students from joking around on Facebook."

Today, Aziz told the Star-Ledger, "The school has reversed my suspension, however it took the force of the media for this to occur. The last two months have been quite stressful. I have lost time at work due to this case. It is disquieting that the administration at MSU, through either disregard of the U.S. Constitution or ignorance, chose to violate my rights as prescribed under the 1st, 5th, and 14th amendments... I hope this case sets a precedent for fighting future violations of the U.S. Constitution by college administrations nationwide."

Robert Shibley, of FIRE, said, "Montclair State briefly tried to justify its decision by appealing to New Jersey’s anti-bullying law, but Aziz’s comments did not constitute bullying under the law’s definition of the term. While Montclair State recognized its error this time, several of the university’s policies could still be used to silence student speech in the future."
