the point is that the FCC alone can regulate these devices. UTD can try to work with the students to coordinate activities but the may not DICTATE how a student can use a wireless device. Banning them, telling a student what frequencies they may and may not use oversteps the authority that UTD has.
"Both the FCC and the federal courts have overturned attempts by third parties to regulate RFI matters in light of the FCC's exclusive authority in this area." FCC Public Notice DA 04-1844
So UTD can take it up with the FCC but can't ban them or attempt to regulate them in any way.
UTD's best option is to attempt coordination with the "private" users.
