I don't think Oracle Premier Support is required is it? As far as I've seen, the Support for a Sun Ray is just "Oracle Priority Service for Sun Ray Peripherals".
Either way, Oracle doesn't show much love for the edu industry since it probably isn't obviously profitable from their point of view. Ditching edu will hurt them in the long run, but probably not until after Larry has retired.
