"The Austin-based service said it legally targets students, faculty and staff, whose e-mail addresses were sold to the company by the university."
The university SOLD the email addresses, which is implies that the university also sells addresses and other data for the sole purposes of marketing. Hey, it happens.
Since the dating company purchased this information, there's an implicit understanding that they'd be used to contact the students with promotional offers. Only a misrepresentation by the bulk mailer would make the contract void and subject to sanctions, including blocking.
I'm not a spam apologist, but if you are going to be mad at someone, you need to be mad that the university for selling this information in the first place. | | |

Cheyenne, WY | You are absolutly correct if the University sold them they don't have leg to stand on. If I were a student or staff of that place I would be not be happy. But as I have said what can you do about it, nothing much.
