"Private University; hence, no Gov't involvement; hence, no Constitutional issues."

I agree. It never ceases to amaze me how few people really understand what the 1st amendments means in regard to free speech.  Personally, I think the University blew this out of proportion (unless there is more to the story than posted), but as far as abridging this kids' rights to freedom of speech, it just simply didn't happen

The Private University thing is a fallacy. Though the majority of their funding may be through "non-governmental" sources, I'd be willing to bet Marquette receives more than its share of federal funds. My brother is a director at a so-called "private university" and can't believe how often he's in Washington lobbying Senators Kohl and Feingold for more money.
