I found this story on digg. It talked about a student at the University of Portland who wrote a program to bypass Cisco Clean Access and distributed it to a select few. The programmer was suspended for a year and essentially told he was a terrorist.
I think most people would agree that suspending a student for a year for finding a way around a piece of software that checks to see if you have up-to-date antivirus definitions as well as the latest operating system updates and patches is outrageous! I really hope that the university will come to its senses and remove the suspension.
