In May 2011 EVE University established the first iteration of the [[Null Sec Campus]] in the Fountain region. Unfortunately the first iteration was not entirely successful, and the Null Sec Campus were forced to leave camp prematurely, and once again return to Empire space. Then one day, in September 2011, a handful of brave, perhaps foolhardy Unistas followed a gibbering madman named Tinman Spectacular into Syndicate, pitched their tents and settled in for the long haul. So Null Sec Campus 2.0 was born out of the initiative of EVE University students.

{{co|violet|<big>'''No SOP Month - September - October 2011'''</big>}}<br />

In an effort to try and foster an appreciation for EVE University's Wartime Standard Operating Procedures (which were becoming more and more unpopular) the CEO announced a "No SOP Month" where Unistas were free to do as they liked during wartime. The results were that many Unistas who would have dropped for wartime due to the restrictions of the WSOP, stuck around and carried on and morale was good through this experiment.

{{co|violet|<big>'''"Operation" Dec Shield - October 2011 - May 2012'''</big>}}<br />

Technically not a proper operation, CEO Kelduum Revaan, after consulting with CCP on the wardec mechanics, established an effective "shield" against the constant incoming wardecs (usually we had a wardec on for a week, maybe two, then a week of peace, followed by another wardec) by setting up approximately 20 mutual wardecs started with alt corporations. This effectively raised the cost of declaring war against Ivy League to a grossly large amount of ISK, with it's associated escalating costs, and thus made declaring war against EVE University very unattractive for the ISK needed to spend. Towards the end of this "operation", shortly before the release of the ''Inferno'' expansion, there was a notable and fun war with RvB. It could be argued that this dec shield tactic fostered some dislike towards EVE University in the wider community which may have led to the phenomena of "Perma-Dec", started by Mentally Assured Destruction (U-MAD) and it's associated alliances up to it's current alliance, The Pursuit of Happiness (-BRO), and had other so-called High Sec mercenary corps and alliances get in on continually wardeccing Ivy League after the wardec mechanics changed with the ''Inferno'' expansion (May 2012).

{{co|coral|<big>'''The Low-Sec Camp - October 2011 - onward'''</big>}}<br />

As a result of a lack of PvP opportunities from the Dec Shield, and a desire to help Unistas so inclined, a persistent student-run event called The Low-Sec Camp was established, for those to come and go, and learn to live in low-sec, and get some PvP action. There were ILN pilots and non-ILN pilots, and "carebears" of all stripes. They were quite successful and basically tried to operate outside of the administrative structure of EVE University, but sticking to the rules. The only support they depended on, due to corp mechanics, was for corp hangars. As with anything new or different, there were several culture clashes that occurred, and many of originators lost their enthusiasm to running this on-going event. And as it is with "big government", Management soon become fully engaged, including the CEO ordering the relocation of the Camp to further his strategic goals in minimizing war against Ivy League. Eventually this student-led persistent event became the first official management endorsed and run Campus, now called the [[Low-Sec Campus]].
