The opinion

SILVERMAN, Circuit Judge,

dissenting:

I respectfully disagree that the plaintiffs lack standing to bring suit to enjoin Chapa. Plaintiffs allege that Chapa personally violated their First Amendment rights by enforcing the College’s speech policies, and they seek to enjoin her from doing so again. The fact that plaintiffs did not also sue other possible defendants for their respective roles in the incident reflects on plaintiffs’ tactics, not their standing. I would reach the merits just as the district court did, and would affirm the denial of a preliminary injunction for the reasons stated by the district court.
