Actually I wanted to specifically say cordless phone, because college
policies also apply to any student living in a campus dorm.

Here is a link to GaTech's wireless policy.

They are doing two thing I don't agree with:
1) Banning wireless devices based on interference with their wireless
network.
2) Giving themselves the right to regulate all wireless devices on campus
property.

You may not agree with them, but they are certainly within their
rights to regulate the use of electronic devices on their property
as a condition of allowing you to enter upon and use their property.

Did I say "THEIR" property enough ? ggg

Several of my law clients are radio site owners, and we put similar
clauses in all the leases.

Don't like it? Get off the property. No one is forcing you to be
there and to use those electronic devices.

Well, my mistake to think it was something like a high school or grade
school.

If it indeed jepardized safety, maybe it would be an issue, as hospitals ban
them (cell and other transcievers...) but if it is interfering with
something else, especially part 15 devices, I don't think they would have
alot of ground to stand on.... merely opinion though.
