Every time a professor uses “Academic Freedom” as a reason that they should have admin rights to a state-owned device used to access, process, and potentially store private data about their students… a ninja kills a kitten.

They just felt they knew EVERYTHING and anyone without a PhD knew nothing or very little!

Higher-Ed doesn’t seem to care (mostly), but CSOs and CTOs are very interested…. There are some EXCELLENT solutions for this, for WP7.5+, iOS 6+, BB 10+, etc. Android just sucks, but there are some workarounds you can apply to get “improved” results (for “secure” Android, you basically have to throw away whatever google version you are running, and run one of a couple of other Android builds that supports secure containers).
