It wasn’t in the US when this was written and for half a century after.
> Though in loco parentis continues to apply to primary and secondary education in the U.S., application of the concept has largely disappeared in higher education. This was not always the case.
> Prior to the 1960s, undergraduates were subject to many restrictions on their private lives. Women were generally subject to curfews as early as 10 pm, and dormitories were sex-segregated. Some universities expelled students—especially female students—who were deemed "morally" undesirable. More importantly, universities saw fit to restrict freedom of speech, on campus, often forbidding organizations out of favor or with different views from speaking, organizing, demonstrating, or otherwise acting on campus. These restrictions were severely criticized by the student movements of the 1960s,[9] and the Free Speech Movement at the University of California, Berkeley formed partly on account of them, inspiring students elsewhere to step up their opposition.[10]

- jhbadger 4y agoAlthough some of those restrictions were still there at a lot of universities in the US as late as the 1980s when I was an undergraduate. There were still dorms that were all male and all female and rules that you had to stay in one at least for your first year of university.

Off-topic, but I always find it funny to know that during his time as governor, "freedom-loving" Reagan had students shot for that particular crime.
