A university ordinance that could land students in jail for continuously making too much noise in the library or flickering the lights during an exam was struck down and deemed unconstitutional Friday by the Michigan Supreme Court, following the ruling of a case that took four years to decide. The ordinance, which prohibited the disruption of a person, firm or agency working for the university, was placed under the public eye in the case of former MSU law student Jared Rapp, who confronted MSU parking employee Ricardo Rego in September 2008 after he found a ticket on his car. Rapp, now 29 and an MSU alumnus, was charged with a misdemeanor offense for violating the ordinance when he challenged the parking officer because he said he had time left on the meter when the ticket was issued. In a 5-2 divided opinion, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled the language of the MSU ordinance was overly broad and unconstitutional, according to court documents. “It took me almost five years to prove that what I did wasn’t criminal,” Rapp said.
