No, although it is antithetical to anarchism. Well-regulated is simply a disputed term.

Hi there, I'm a big fan of FIRE's motives and work. I've seen that FIRE focuses on first amendment violations by public universities, but does FIRE also have good standing to launch litigation against private universities for similar offenses (understanding that private universities receive just as much public funding as public universities do, generally speaking, whether it's through research grants, tax exemptions, or student loans)? If not, why not? Thanks!

Thanks, this is generally what I've heard before. I'm still hoping OP can say a little on what FIRE can or does do to stand against private universities on these issues. Also I'm interested in whether OP personally agrees with the idea that private universities should not be considered government actors, but didn't want to overload my question.
