It's unfortunate that I am completely positive that Google respects my rights more than my University does. They have no problem snooping the traffic use of users on this network and/or pulling the plug on students. Also they will very willingly pass information to the RIAA/MPAA without a request. Awesome much? In addition to the terrible IT department here on campus I'm pretty sure that I'd jump at the opportunity for Google to be managing our campus mail. Whatever service they have running here won't even support forwarding to my gmail inbox as it is. Large universities may be more willing to support their students but it seems like smaller ones can be pretty hit or miss.
