> The Chronicle of Higher Education has a supplement on IT in higher
> education that came out today.  It contains an article written by
> David Wilson, a former MS student here, and myself on the question
> of whether open source or proprietary source is more secure.   There
> is also a nice article on other considerations (and problems) with
> open source projects in higher ed.

> I am unsure of whether you can access both articles without being a
> subscriber (I am), but often these articles are available for 5-10
> days without a subscription.  They are definitely available in the
> hard copy edition, in a library near you. :-)
