@MWolf: In order to answer whether or not quasi-governmental status of an educational institution changes the characterization of a private space to a public space with respect to constitutionally protected rights is a very fact specific situation. This is one reason why courts do not address hypothetical cases. There must be an actual case or controversy in order for federal courts to get involved assuming that other “standing” requirements are satisfied by the litigant. (This can & does differ, however, in state courts.) But simply putting forth a hypothetical issue based on federal question jurisdiction will not get one’s case accepted by a federal court. Need an actual case or controversy with very specific facts.
