I've no knowledge of the particulars, but I have encountered cases where writings in MySpace have been particularly brutal to subjects who have been written about maliciously, albeit legally, but nonetheless causing them much grief, just the same. None of this speaks to the liability of the school, however, which appears to be posturing in order to protect itself from collateral damages. If acts that are executed over, and supported by, the school's dormitory or campus network are deemed to be libelous, or even illegal, can the school be held accountable in any way? It's in some ways similar to teenagers who get drunk and crash their car after attending a party at a neighbor's when the parents were away. Or ISPs being held to account for their subscribers who pirate copyrighted content. Hey, you're the lawyer, so I'll leave it to you to explain this stuff to me ;)
