I'm not a lawyer or law student or anything close, so maybe someone can help me out with this. Where does the idea that public universities cannot regulate their students' on-campus actions come from? By accepting admission into the school, are they not agreeing adhere to its policies and procedures? People do not seem to question that students in elementary and secondary level public schools should have to conform to standards of behavior or risk sanctions; why is this such a controversial issue for the public university? Because the students are there by choice? (To me, this argument seems invalid - a code of conduct for students who are enrolled in a school of their choosing is more acceptable than students who are enrolled in a school they are required to attend.)

Just a clarification - the event which started this discussion did not occur on university property.

It's not so much "regulating" students' conduct. It's that public universities are are agencies of (usually) state government, and therefore the prohibitions of the Bill of Rights -- such as not inhibiting free speech, free assembly or free exercise of religion -- apply to them. Public universities can regulate conduct up to a point, but there is a constitutional line they cannot cross. Private universities don't have to worry about that constitutional line. (They may have to worry about receiving federal funds, though.)

I'm assuming, then, that the lower level public schools HAVE these same rights, just people do not usually do anything in protest for the underage students?
Sorry, I know this is such a complete hijack ...
