No it's not a moot point. There are some contract clauses that are void or overruled by law (state or federal). There is also the Statute of Frauds (which actually have nothing to do with fraud).

But that wasn't my point. My point was that this seems to be an arbitrary and capricious violation of the students' trust. The fact that the students agreed to it (probably by signing a standard 15 page document they didn't even read), does nothing to diminish the ill will and sense of mistrust the school has brought upon itself.

Weel it seems like an invasion of privacy to me. As though adult college students can't be trusted. I would feel that way if it was me,requardless of the laws concerning this.

I went to college, I lived in the dorm, I read the fine print. All I can tell you is, at Mi. State when you sign on the dotted line, you agreed to allow searches at random.
