Initial Security assesment for a large university - what to ask?

Dear friends,

I've been asked to be part of a large project. A local college (in Cancun,MX) is changing administration, and as a part of it, seems like they are changing the whole IT team. My orders were clear "Make a list of all that they need to give to you, security-related".

I'm thinking:

- root logins and passwords for all servers/routers/etc


... and I stopped there. Any other ideas on what I should demand from them?

Thanks,
Camilo Olea
