University of California, San Diego: The thesis of Christopher T. Brown, a M.S. student in Materials Science, was rejected because it contained a "disacknowledgments" section that profanely criticized university professors, librarians, and the state governor.  After one year, the University relented and issued him a degree, but refused to deposit his thesis in the library (ensuring that no one would read it).  He later sued the University over this failure to deposit the thesis and lost.
