Most of the staff/admins in the universities that I've worked in have relatively modern sensibilities when it comes to this stuff. However, their constituents, particularly on the academic sides of the house ... less so. I've heard a modest firewall policy argued against on the grounds of Academic Freedom, let alone private IP addresses.
It is indeed a different environment.
- bee_rider 3y agoThere are so many devices on a campus network with nebulous ownership set up by clever but still-learning grad students and even undergrads, trying to secure the perimeter seems pointless. Someone internal will find a way to get hacked, or even themselves could be malicious (what are we going to do, background check every student?), so all the nodes on the network need to themselves be secured.
