This hypothetical case didn't happen in the US. It is also very unlikely to fall under any academic-freedom or contractual rights, because the object of dispute was a *game*. Now if the student can prove that he has some right, constitutional, contractual, or academic, to use University resources to play *games*, then good luck to him. In many places this is explicitly *forbidden*.
