Why does a university have any say over what a student does on an online discussion forum not hosted by the school?

What happens to posters on FR if they're posting on the campi of Stanford, SUNY, Harvard, Yale or Brown and the PC police at their school discovers screen names are actually a student in their midst?

I fail to see how the University has any jurisdiction here.

You won't get any argument from me.

Let me say this. And any university students who post here should take it to heart. If the socialists who run most campuses were to find out you posted here, and participated in discussions, they could make your life bloody hell.

What we call engaging, spirited, contentious, challenging, intriguing, etc., they call racist, homophobic, mysoginistic, intolerant, etc.

Especially if you were already a "known" "troublemaker."
