So why on campus then? "on campus" implies this is a campus specific issue, hence the aforementioned security cameras.

The NSA/GCHQ is a nation-state level issue, effecting populaces on the same scale.

Well, headline aside, we feel the NSA/GCHQ overreach is a problem that particularly affects students, since college is a time for exploration, creativity, and freedom. The private realm is the only place any of these things reside, and we're concerned about the erosion of online anonymity.
