In my experience at Columbia University, the ones who had issues with
wireless access in the classroom were specialty graduate schools like
Business, Law, and Architecture as opposed to the college. There also
seems to be a competitive trend among top tier grad schools where if
one school makes a decision like this, others may follow to remain
competitive- both for student enrollment and faculty recruiting reasons.

Is a bit curious that as U Chicago Law School pulls the plug,
Quinnpiac is moving toward all wireless. From Aruba's pitch:
"Join us on Tuesday, April 29th at 10:00 AM Pacific, 1:00 PM Eastern
to hear Quinnipiac University discuss their existing state of the
art wireless deployment and their transition to an all-wireless
campus. Wireless has made a significant impact at Quinnipiac with
respect to:
* Network performance and application delivery
* Curriculum and learning
* IT and facilities expenses
* Convenience and manageability"
Certainly feels like two diametrically opposing views.

I also "audited' a class via podcast from Harvard Law School:
http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/cyberone/
where there was a lot of discussion of whether and how students
should be
allowed to use Laptops during class.
Do you all encourage or discourage it?
