Are you talking about S.1901.IS?

I thought the draft that I read simply stated that the edu adhere to a
standard and not necessarily a specific one. There are a number of "standards"
like the SANS and CIS benchmarks that could be applied to most edus without
serious impact. I know we've done that here at VA Tech. The problem has always
been to get the upper administration to focus on security.

BTW, I was looking at the bill (via thomas.loc.gov) and didn't see the
amendment. Where is it?
