There's no basis for such a lawsuit. You might not like it but they're not breaking the law.

That would depend on where the parent is from. In Germany you would absolutely have a case if your public University tried to make you use Facebook. In fact, you could probably skip the lawsuit and just report it to the appropriate authority.

I don't think any public university is making someone use Facebook. The issue is that every single event is posted on Facebook so your options are either 1. create a Facebook so you can find out, 2. don't participate, or 3. inconvenience your friends by asking them to tell you about all the events.

hmm. i’m not sure that’s true. a university has more things to consider than just “can we use this app?”

Consider attending law school so you can learn the law instead of just guessing what it might be.

i considered it, but they want me to signup on FB, so no thanks /s
