Holding
A plaintiff who suffered a completed violation of a constitutional right can establish Article III standing and obtain retrospective relief through an award of nominal damages alone, even without proof of compensatory damages; a public college's enforcement of restrictive campus speech policies against a Christian student sharing his faith was such a violation, and the college could not moot the suit by repealing the policy after the fact.
