I completely agree. The University of Iowa has a Student Code of Conduct - even matters that happen outside the University fall under the code; criminal charges most certainly would apply.
Some of yo umay or may not have heard, Iowa was recently sending letters home to parents of minors caught with alcohol under the legal age at Iowa City bars. These are 18, 19, 20 year old students being punished by the university (in a sense) for activity that went on off school property. Students challenged it - but the letters were completely legal.
If the activity breaches the student code of conduct and interferes with school activity - it was punishable.
If they can do it at a college level - no doubt they can do it at a public high school.
