You're full of shit. Ravi was born to a well to do family. His parents had bought him a car (BMW) when he graduated.
He may not have been homophobic, however, he did invade his roommates privacy. He did harass him. In his own facebook transcripts, he has plotted to expose his roommates private life to ridicule.
How was he supposed to know it would cause him to commit suicide? He didn't, but it was wrong and he did the act anyways.
That contributed to the death of a student.
You can understand why Rutgers is not pleased, and why the courts are intent on making an example -- the other option is to send a message that wiretapping those you dislike and harassing them is permitted. It is not.

To diminish a blatant violation of privacy which has been upheld as a crime as a mere "online video" reeks of apologetics.

Because he committed a crime, or are you ignorant of that?

Oh yes, the 'stupid reason' of wiretapping, harassment, along with inflicting enough emotional distress to drive a fellow student to suicide, all over the initial offense of that roommate kicking Ravi out of the room.
Let me know when I can drive you to suicide. You're breathing my air.

I read about William Calley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Calley), "convicted [...] on March 29, 1971, of the premeditated murder of 22 Vietnamese civilians." yesterday.
Did you know that President Richard Nixon pardoned him, and that L. Mendel Rivers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L._Mendel_Rivers) tried to have Hugh Johnson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Thompson,_Jr.), the man who STOPPED Mylai, brought up on charges.
Does that chap your hide?
Honestly, I think you're more upset that one might unintentionally drive another to suicide in the course of harassing them and actually be brought to justice.
Eat shit and die.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
