What are you kidding. I can see someone arguing that all political parties are equally concerned about laws but to argue that liberals are more so than other groups is bizzare. Republicans are the ones known for their stodgy inflexible application of the law. Liberals are all about breaking the rules and finding exemption to the law. These are the comedic stereotypes. Take for example the sequel to Meet the Faulkers. Stereotypes aside, it turns out the speech codes are a violation of the law which is precisely why libertarians care. Universities that receive funding from the federal government must respect its student's rights. This is akin to the federal laws that state a institution must not discriminate according to race if its is receiving federal funding. Clearly you would be against funding institutions that violate the 14th amendment why are you nonchalant about instance when university violate the first amendment?

This exactly follows your libertarians positions of curbing government coercion (defined solely as violent coercion) and not interfering with free markets (which the college system mostly represents, since there's competition between institutions). So I'm not sure why you're upset.
