All of the above plus very poorly managed network / network security. (sadly a Given(tm) for anything ending dot-e-d-u.)
That broad sweeping characterization, without any evidence, can be as casually dismissed without evidence. However, I will go on record, as I'm sure many others will as well, but in my experience the .edu community, particularly the medium to larger schools who have dedicated IT staff, are often amongst the best managed networks, with regards to security or otherwise. If there is any issue with that sector, you should contact the REN-ISAC, one of the most well executed security constituent groups I've ever seen. They tirelessly reach out and assist on most any educational related incident. John
