Let me repeat it another way. The law only restricts the actions of the government. Members of a university are not the government. Even if they took government money they could legally ignore all of that stuff. Worst case you will not get more funding from them in the future.

I believe you are technically correct, but that does not change the fact that universities have IRBs and will require reviews/approval if you are connected to that institution. You really think they're going to put their funding at risk? This seems very unlikely.
