University bans controversial links

James Nimmo, and about a dozen other people, pointed the way to This CNET Column on The University of California at San Diego, which has ordered a student organization to delete hyperlinks to an alleged terrorist Web site, citing the recently enacted USA Patriot Act.

School administrators have told the group, called the Che Cafe Collective, that linking to a site supporting the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (FARC) would not be permitted because it violated federal law.
