1)There's a long line of Supreme Court decisions applying the 1st amendment to many other entities, both governmental and publicly-funded.

2)Marquette, like almost all universities, is heavily dependent on federal tax dollars.

3)The federal government has a right to tell Marquette University that it will receive no federal tax dollars if it doesn't allow free expression on campus.

4)Marquette can suppress political expression on its own dime, if it chooses.

5)Marquette won't choose its peecee "principles" over tax dollars.

I understand the 1st Amendment quite well, thank you.
