To the people who are complaining about this sort of thing: where do you draw the line on free speech on college campuses? For instance would you want universities to allow students to use racial slurs, with malice, in classroom discussions or paper, without any disciplinary consequences?

The burden of the proof is on the people asking for a line to be drawn to prove that drawing a line is necessary, at all. Until I see proof that students using racial slurs with malice causes significant harm, and this specifically because of the racial slurs, I do want universities to allow it.
