Last I checked, UMI PDFs of dissertations were graphics of scans of 
the printed page, not produced from the text of the document. Even if 
they *were* produced from the printed document, specifying dpi of 
source graphics is not something any institution would be doing, any 
more than they would be restricting Ph.D. candidates to using MS Word 
to produce their dissertations.

Now, it may be that some institutions have helpful hints on this, but 
the idea of a requirement or standard is to me ludicrous.
