A University of Florida law student, Preston Damsky, won an award for a paper arguing that the Constitution applies only to white people. Damsky’s controversial views, which included antisemitic statements, led to his suspension from the university for three years.
After posting that Jews must be “abolished by any means necessary,” Damsky was barred from campus.
University officials expressed concern about the award’s impact on the school’s reputation and the safety of students, prompting discussions on responses to Damsky’s actions.
