re: The UCLA protesters have created a list of all the things they want/need

Some legal issues are more legal than others. I protest in at the TSA checkpoint at LAX, and my right to free assembly is (rightfully) ignored and I'm arrested with the quickness. I trespass and throw-up a tent and some bongo drums on a lawn and disrupt classes at UCLA/Columbia and suddenly everyone is concerned about trampling on my rights. Yet, go illegally park a car in the faculty lot and see how quick its towed away.

In September 2004, U.S. District Court Judge Sam Cummings struck down the free-speech-zone policy at Texas Tech University.

quote:
According to the opinion of the court, campus areas such as parks, sidewalks, streets and other areas are designated as public forums, regardless of whether the university has chosen to officially designate the areas as such. The university may open more of the campus as public forums for its students, but it cannot designate fewer areas. Not all places within the boundaries of the campus are public forums, according to Cummings' opinion. The court declared the university's policy unconstitutional to the extent that it regulates the content of student speech in areas of the campus that are public forums.
