That sounds like some executive in higher education (possible oxymoron there) doesn't know his firewalls from content filters from a hole in the ground. There are countless documents out there which describe the basic security stuff every network has to have. Chief on the list (besides a good admin) is a good firewall. Start on Microsoft's site if you can't find anything else. For anything above the smallest networks, ISA server gets decent reviews as a firewall.

Your whole network is just begging to be hacked.
