Re: The school can ban certain networks if it wishes
said by vpoko  :
As a state-run school, they have less leeway to implement arbitrary policies. Being that the spectrum is crowded, there may be a rational basis for this rule, though.
Even as a state-run institution, they can be as arbitrary as they wish so long as they do not violate the Constitution, civil rights laws' or an individual's due process.
Or to put it differently, they can have inane, arbitrary rules, but as state run institution they cannot be arbitrary in enforcement and must provide due process to those accused. But there is no requirement the rule by a good one, so long as it is semi-rational. If they want to ban gum from an auditorium, they don't have to prove that people are sticking their gum under the desks, they can just ban it. |

| Really? Then why was I not allowed to keep a firearm in my dorm room? Why am I not allowed to bring a firearm into a bar or a liquor store? The Constitution says I can keep one on me, but it wasn't allowed at my school. That is because in order to attend a university and to live on that university's campus, you sign a contract and agree to follow their rules. If they say no wireless access points, then they have the right to kick you off of their property and out of their school if you violate that rule. |
