Jes.
And what happens when students want to protest but get banned from protesting
for whatever reason? They scream bloody murder, that they're First Amendment
rights are being taken away.
So, don't pull that hypocritical bullshit on me... you KNOW it NEVER works.

Nyet.
Texas A&M gets GOVERNMENT funding... stupid. In fact, it used to BE a
Military School, moron.
Most of the schools that banned free speech, do get gov. funding too, idiot.
Colleges that receive government funds are subject to certain regulations and
oversight due to their acceptance of federal financial aid and grants.
If a college takes government funds, it's undeniably tied to public
resources.
You can argue that any institution relying on taxpayer money should be
accountable to the public and thus "government" in some sense. The more
funding they take, the more strings might come attached. Think regulations or
oversight.
Data backs this up: in 2022, the U.S. Department of Education reported that
public colleges got about 60% of their revenue from government sources (state
and federal), while private nonprofits averaged around 15-20%, mostly via
student aid. Dependence varies widely, though.
