I think markets on private land like malls should have many of the same freedoms we enjoy in public spaces. Of course I think universities should as well. Itβs unfortunate that in the second half of the 20th century we put so much of our public life on private property.
A university is not a merely public place, but rather one which enjoys a charter from the state -- and numerous benefits as far as funding, taxation, access to information and research opportunities -- as an educational institution.
