No, you just don't understand how free speech actually works.

The first amendment protects you from government retaliation.

The first amendment does not force everyone else to cowtow to what you say and how you say it.

The first amendment does not protect you from others expressing their criticism.

The first amendment allows Kansas State to say they do not want to be represented or associated with something.

It would be a violation of first amendment rights if they FORCED Kansas State to keep this person.

You can't view free speech as this free reign for one person to be an utter ****. Everyone has free speech. You can't impede on others free speech (in this case someone disassociating with someone over difference of opinion) just because someone else has free speech. That would be denying someone else's free speech rights. Your rights end where someone else's begins.
