Here's a story which appears in today's online version of "The Chronicle 
of Higher Education."

"Another university administrator explained that his institution simply 
could not afford to buy enough copies of Microsoft programs for his whole 
campus under the new policy -- especially software, such as Visual Basic, 
that only a select group of students needs. He said his institution would 
have to buy competitors' products instead. 'You will no longer be 
present,' he said, 'and that's a disadvantage for you.'"

"'We do not run like a corporation runs,' Arnold Hirshon, vice-provost 
for information resources at Lehigh University, told Ms. Spain. 'We 
cannot fully control [students'] behavior.'"
