Hate to burst your bubble, but all you have to do is turn off "personalisation" in your search preferences and the old google comes roaring back.

No one is "forcing" a beta on you. It is not required you use Siri. In fact, there is not a single phone function that requires Siri. Beta is a common standard for software, it is not "for google". It is true that Apple has not released beta software to the public in the past, but I actually applaud them for doing it…

Do a little research. UC David is a state school and its campus is, by California law, a public space.

Except I can't get it to work on Firefox either.
