Obviously, I am not a lawyer. With that said...
The main difference I see is that the check is limited.
Checking for arbitrary things is the problem, not checking for specific
issues that are needed to keep the network running.

But in any case, not every university is using a NAC-style system. Maybe
ask the network admins who don't use such a system why... I am sure pretty
much every university network admin has looked at what's out there.
