There are safety/security implications to having a company e.g. use student ID numbers to do the various nefarious things companies do these days with personal information. Especially in a campus environment, with a restaurant that seems like it wasn't open to the general public.

Sure, but they deleted the Brown IDs and complied with Brown's demands after the cease and desist. Now they're making these sandwiches at another restaurant, and Brown's still threatening them.
We have no idea what for--the article just gives a quote from Rosenblatt: "The startup has heard nothing more from Brown directly. But Rosenblatt says the same Brown lawyer started “harassing Betaspring” on March 18 with e-mails and phone calls to the accelerator’s partners and office manager; Rosenblatt says his interpretation was that the university was “preparing to serve us” with a lawsuit."
