Wow, outlandish ...

In the long run, it may be cheaper for the U of Phoenix to get some sort
of group counselling for this paranoia, if it is departmentally 
proliferated.

If permission had to be obtained for every link, we would not have
a World Wide Web to speak of.

You do realize there are user-submission-driven news sites out there
which feature hundreds of stories daily, each with a random link to
something?

SlashDot has been doing this since 1997; twenty years.

Yes, it is safe to come out of your bunker; the radio-activity report
was exaggerated ...
