James O’Keefe is an intrepid investigative reporter whose undercover videos have repeatedly exposed outrageous behavior – often forcing corrective actions.

One might have expected that outcome when Mr. O’Keefe’s Project Veritas recently revealed officials at two prominent U.S. universities supporting the establishment of a campus club to promote and support the Islamic State of Iraw and Syria terrorist group. Yet, at Florida’s Barry University, it’s the acclaimed honor student who participated in the sting operation – identified as “Laura” – who’s been suspended within weeks of her expected graduation.

Now is the time for alumni, parents of students and other backers of Barry University to repudiate those who think supporting terrifying jihad is an appropriate activity at their institution. And a courageous student who challenged such administrators should be applauded, not punished.
