Re: "Absolutely no right"?
Well, you have an argument there, but I suspect the court would come down on the side on the school, but it would place an additional burden on the school to prove its reasonable.
But a school can still regulate its students more than you might think. At my college, many students faced "disciplinary action" for being in the dorm room of the wrong gender after a certain hour, even if he/she was behaving themselves. If a school can regulate when a student can visit another in the dorms (something, say, an apartment generally cannot do) then I have little doubt that they can regulate whether a student can set up a wireless network on campus. Students in dorms have less rights than a general renter.
But I like the new phrasing on the summary better. "Some would argue" is a more accurate description than "absolutely no right". |
