The university has long implemented the rule due to “year-round campus activity” and in order to protect “the privacy and safety of its students, faculty and staff.”

Reese explained that when they were getting ready to film Legally Blonde, the university wouldn’t make an exception to the rule, despite the fact that she’s an alumna.
