I'm just saying I think there's a good case for it being legal. Unfortunately, the two aren't always the same thing. I'm a little unclear about who "owns" the Wi-Fi. Does the school pay for the Wi-Fi, and you're saying we basically pay for it through that? "Mick Holsclaw ... cautioned students that it’s unwise to consider email exchanges private." Well, considering that most online transactions/registrations/etc. confirm things through email, I'm not sure we have much of an option. What I'd like to know is if that would mean people using their own computers couldn't do anything banned in the computer labs (social networking, etc.). That would be pretty annoying. On the other hand, it would be nice if when I had a lot of homework my Internet didn't take forever and ever and ever... While my knee-jerk reaction is "No way!" I do see why they would want to do this... I’m not necessarily saying I think it’s right. I’m just saying I think there’s a good case for it being legal.

While my knee-jerk reaction is “No way!” I do see why they would want to do this…

That is unacceptable! Liberty is a precious thing and on college campuses it is infringed already! Freedom of speech is limited to a certain place, and it's a gun-free zone, which means a gun can be on campus only illegally, so only the criminals will bring it if, God forbid, they want to shoot somebody. I am utterly against this encroachment on our liberties! Maybe we should have them put video cameras in bathrooms and have the college staff monitor them? Thit is very bad news for students!!!

I still don't really like it, but I think they can justify it... If they’re providing the Wi-Fi, isn’t it theirs, not ours?
