RPI is a private institution, and technically doesn't HAVE to abide by the First Amendment, but by that same token, they can't claim anything by eminent domain, so...
Also, eminent domain has literally nothing to do with exerting authority over someone's behavior on property that the university owns. No one cares whether the university acquired title by exercising eminent domain, or buying it with money in a voluntary transaction, or receiving it as a bequest under a will, or as a judgment in a lawsuit. Eminent domain refers merely to an entity's right (typically a government agency) to condemn a property that someone won't freely sell to it, at a "fair" price adjudicated by a court.
The security guard just spouted out the first legal term they could think of, presumably. It's as if they had blurted out "res ipsa loquitur" or "caveat emptor."
Hey, take it easy on the guard, Tex, Mike. He stayed up all night memorizing that phrase so he could pass his RPI English 101 vocabulary quiz that day.
Just a better version of human slavery. The North never actually ended slavery. But people had to tell themselves the narrative was true because of how much was sacrificed.

Or "quid pro quo".

He was just rehearsing his answer.
