Unfortunately, they may have a case .... ..since in this case, the university is a government institution.
If this was a private university, they could block all they want. But as a part of a state government, they can't constitutionally block "free speech".
It'll be interesting to see how this ends up. |

If that free speech is interfereing with legitimate mail and is causing any number of problems, including higher costs, etc. they have a reason to block it.
The univeristy I work at already blocks spam and has an excellent defense... University email is to be used for university business only.
