Thanks, Ryan! Instead of putting these on my personal delicious, I started a wiki page to collect links related to university compliance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008. If you can locate your school's policy regarding filesharing and compliance with the HEOA, please add a link here: http://wiki.freeculture.org/Higher_education_opportunity_act We have no specific purpose for this information yet but it might come in handy down the line!
