Google Docs is one of a rather large number of exploitable platforms (most of the URLs in the phishing I've
seen point to hacked systems in various other universities or homes) - blocking that one will make almost no
difference to the actual security of the university or the university users

so the next logical step is to cut the university off from the Internet

and to require that university facility, staff and students do not have Internet access anywhere else

then they might be safe

(safe in the 1950s)
