Universities are not "given special laws." What nonsense.

Lookup tenant rights for student housing. Students don't have it, they're explicitly exempt.

A university does not have to follow the commercial process, they can make predatory contracts well outside of reason, tax free (for them), and reap all the profits.

Things universities intentionally avoid teaching so students won't organize against the system abusing them.

They are frequently given special laws, principal among them tax-exempt status.
