Ability to negotiate is heavily dependent on leverage. Unless things have changed a whole lot since I was in college, students don't have much leverage when they deal with the university.

In realistic terms the best students could hope for would be a schedule (rather than random or unannounced) inspection. I doubt there is great love in the college staff for storm-trooper tactics in general. So it might not be that hard of a sell.

I believe that the students have a very potent leverage. As a student body, if they inform the faculty that a large percentage of them will not return to the campus the following cemester, you can bet a reasonable resolution that honored student rights would be found. At least that's my perception.
