Having worked there before, yes it's easy to do that to students. Admin staff and (tenured) faculty, less so.

- jeffbee 6y agoI never had anyone tell me that I had to offer special dispensation to tenured professors when I was the sysadmin of shared services at a university. They get what they get! Also I kinda feel like a university probably won't use the free tier of Google storage. I imagine they'd go for the $5/year plan that includes 20GB of additional quota per account.
- mysterydip 6y agoI wish I had worked at your university :D Politics were getting in the way of sane policies all the time. Fair point on the free tier, though it depends on how valuable they think the IT department is (see above) and yearly budget, etc.
