“This call is not disciplinary in nature, nor is it part of a formal EOCR investigative process,” the email read.

Goldstein, a practicing Christian, saw the hat on X and thought it was a funny play on the “Make America Great Again” slogan popularized by President-elect Donald Trump.

He wore the hat to his class, which focused on elections, several times without incident. Until October 24, when he opened up his email to see a message from the university’s Office of Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights (OECR).
