I don't know about their policies, but in Mikes defense I would have to
guess YES.  If the student organization is gathering for something
purely defamatory like a "The dean is a fink" rally, I do think they
would deny use of campus resources.  Mike certainly wasn't talking about
topics or content that would be controversial but, as he said in another
post, harassing.
