The California State University system is revising its student code of conduct to settle a lawsuit brought by students who said its requirement that they be “civil” was too vague and violated their First Amendment rights, the Associated Press reports.

University officials told the AP that the revised code clarified that violations of the code could not form the basis of a university investigation or disciplinary action. The statement still includes the contested word “civil.”

The lawsuit was filed by the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal-advocacy group, on behalf of the College Republicans at San Francisco State University last summer.

The suit concerned a 2006 anti-terrorism rally where College Republicans stomped on Hamas and Hezbollah flags. That offended some students, as both flags include Allah’s name in Arabic (which the College Republicans were not aware of, according to the suit).

The university had investigated the incident, but found it did not violate the conduct code. —Beckie Supiano
