Chandler and Ross were both attending New York University together and were roommates. Ross had a fascination with dinosaurs and wanted to become a paleontologist. Chandler was unsure of what career he wanted and decided to try taking some finance courses. One day, while Chandler and Ross were both in classes, Chandler was in his finance class and Ross was in his biology class, campus security entered their dorm room and searched it. Campus security even searched through their closet and drawers. When Ross returned to his room that afternoon around 1:00 pm, he discovered what had happened. He immediately called Chandler to let him know what had occurred. Ross then went to Henry Helpful, the dorm's senior resident, and complained. Henry told Ross that the university had a right to search the room because it was the university's property and that neither he nor Chandler had any right of privacy.

Do you agree/disagree with Henry Helpful's statements and why? Does the U.S. Constitution expressly grant Ross and Chandler the right to privacy and if so, which Amendment(s) provide them that right?
