A mall can deny your 1st Amendment rights.
It is a private business.
A tax-funded institution of higher learning most certainly can not.
If USC is privately funded, then it can.
I went to The Citadel.
I am am quite aware of what rights a person has on a tax-funded campus.

FWIW, USC is a ‘private’ college—though you’re right of course about the public funding.
