Well, isn't quite a university, but two local colleges/technical schools
have this:  Umpqua Community College (www.cc.umpqua.or.us) , in southern
Oregon, and Oregon Institute of Technology, also in southern Oregon.

I'm not surprised.  In *general*, the smaller the institution, the more
likely that policies can be implemented *relatively* quickly.  In
*general*, the larger the institution, the more likely it is that policy
changes will move at a glacial pace.

It *is* changing, but for those of us who care about the health of the
Internet, not nearly fast enough.
