The Digital Millennium Copyright Act requires network services providers -- including schools and universities -- to shut down any websites it hosts if there are complaints to the institution that there is copyright infringement. For this purpose, each such institution must have a person whose responsibility for copyright infringement via the system is made public along with contact info. The website must be shut down BEFORE it has actually been decided in a court of law that there is in fact copyright infringement, which is a significant change in copyright law many find distressing. However, this Act does NOT limit links to home pages only. All legislation is complex, this particularly so, and many folks in good faith make a decision to read as restrictively as possible out of prudence (or fear) -- but in this case the requirement being asked to limit links to home pages is not necessary.
