Yeah. You try that, and you'll be sued for misuse of legal process. For such a clearly intentional violation, punitive damages will be likely. Let's try it out: (1) institution or continuation of a criminal or civil proceeding against the accused (CHECK) (2) termination of the proceeding in favor of the accused (CHECK) (3) absence of probable cause for prosecution or civil proceedings (CHECK) (4) improper purpose of the accuser (common law requires malice) (CHECK under both standards) Anyhow, this entire discussion is partially moot: universities absolutely DECRY clamping down on ANY free speech rights. Hell, most won't even put up a firewall because of the "potential to block the flow of information." This is more likely to be a commercially supported venture, to make sure the employees aren't going to rack up any respondeat superior / acting within the scope of duty liablity.
