I came across this Emerson College IT blog: <http://press.emerson.edu/it/>

The first few entries are about their new password policy. I don't work 
there, but just happened to have found it earlier this week.

Thanks,
Will

Greetings, 
American University is moving to require passphrases, 16 character 
minimum, with upper and lower case requirement for standard users (staff, 
students, and faculty). 

I would love to hear from anyone that has gone down this path and 
experiences from their customers. 

Thanks
