4. Some of these student organizations have offices/meeting spaces "on campus"

For example - at my alma mater UMASS/Amherst, here is a list of orgs associated with the campus - https://umassamherst.campuslabs.com/engage/Organizations

There are 551 listings at that link (done alphabetically).

I expect the schools may get federal grants that can be applied for by their organizations to be used for (or supplementing) bringing in speakers for events, or to generate/print informational materials, etc.

There is a large centrally-located building on campus, called the Student Union, where some of those orgs were located or will meet. I just found this video that shows what is a literal sea change renovation of that building since the decades ago when I was there (apparently just done in 2020)



They could cherry-pick through those orgs and force the school to purge (association with) any deemed "offensive" to white male lunatic Christian groups, with the threat that if this is not done, then the school's money will be cut.
