Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility is a membership
organization that's set up to do these things.  CPSR already has a
strong cooperative relationship with EFF.  There are about twenty local
chapters.  I don't think they're directly tied to academic
institutions, but they're located in cities that make them available to
many students.

Outreach to colleges is something that could be pursued either
by interested students or from within CPSR.

Here's a membership form and contact information:
