Are you referring to the Washington Post article that had more to
say then you wished to convey? It's a three page article and you might
want to read the other two pages for a more complete story.
<snip from article>
Not all schools are so worried. American University in Washington, the
University of Virginia in Charlottesville and the College of William and Mary
are encouraging students to install the upgrade as soon as possible.
"I think some schools are being somewhat unnecessarily paranoid about this,"
said Carl Whitman, American's executive director of e-operations. "At this
point, the bad stuff on the Internet is getting pretty out of hand and we
need whatever help we can get."
Georgetown University will not block Service Pack 2 downloads either, said
spokeswoman Laura Cavender.
Dan Updegrove, vice president for information technology at the University
of Texas at Austin, said his school is advising students to get the update.
"We want to get it out there as fast as we can," Updegrove said. "The idea
of telling our students to install a patch to block this other patch -- and
then in the event that an Internet attack that would have been prevented by
SP2 surfaces telling them to then please delete the install anti-patch patch
– that strikes me as a little absurd."
