  It would no longer be a 'University'. I couldn't find an antonym for 'universal'.

    'Partiality' seems fitting.

  > Tomalin's proposal would use a sophisticated algorithm which would evaluate not just the content itself, but also all content posted by the user to determine if a post might be classifiable as "hate speech". Speak how the algorithm likes, or your posting will be penalized.

  It's not a 'virus' software, it a soft that somehow classify the comments using techniques somewhat like anti-virus software. I would have used a version of an anti-spam software, but I guess anti-virus makes this more scary and get's more funding and press.
