But it was not HER network connection but of the university which
probably provided her with a free internet connection in her dorm room
with certain restrictions and rules. It is unethical. She broke rules
of a service which was provided free to her.

However, her parents were fully within their legal rights to
provide her with that encrypted connect. The TOS for their
particular broadband provider allowed them to set up
such a connection, so her parents were in the clear.

It is unethical to help someone break company rules which are
implemented to protect the company networks and network resources.

He has a lot of rights but that does not give him the right to break
rules or laws.

So if he saw that his children were up to something and he jumped into
his car to speed back home, breaking speed limits, breaking street
laws, you would consider that, too, his parental right to check on his
children and thus ethical? If you helped him to get quickly through
some radar checks your doing would be ethical to help him to exercise
his parental right?

Or if he knew that from time to time his children would stay at some
friend's place and he wanted to excersice his parental rights there,
too, and he would thus secretly install some bugs and hidden cameras
there because the friend's parents would never agree to that would you
consider this ethical as well because it is just a parental right to
check on his children? And if you help him to do that you think you
are ethical?

If you agree to work somewhere or agree to use some network resources
at a dorm room you agree to comply with some rules. You usually sign
those rules. Otherwise you would not get the job or you would not get
network access granted. Breaking those rules is unethical. You agreed
to comply with them and now you break them. You are always free to
work somewhere else at a place with different rules or use some other
way to access the internet at your dorm.

Now, if you help someone breaking those rules you are unethical.

So, you keep showing that YOU and people you know and help have a long
unethical history of violating company policy for personal benefit.

You and they are unethical.

You don't seem to understand, the students often sign or agree to having
their communications monitored as part of the agreement for network
service.
