Foreign PSYOPs exploiting local minority (or other) groups is a standard way to undermine a government. It's a tactic at least thousands of years old.
I would say it's literally the CIAs job to keep an eye on that kind of activity.
Circling back to your first link, which is an issue, Im still not 100% convinced they acted inappropriately. You notice how it says they compiled a database of people who might cause property damage using the opinions of independent people on the ground, and not thay they put bugs in random student's dorm rooms?
That, given its relation to the appropriate tracking of foreign influence, might've been okay.
In either case, neither of your links is anything like the allegation they're massively and indiscriminately spying on random students.

Ok, and they did so by spying on Students for a Democratic Society, which is mentioned in the second link. I fail to see your point.
