[In principle, I think I'm with Dan on this one. In reality, though,
I wonder if making universities liable for paying for their own
compliance will increase opposition to this FCC mandate (including
lawsuits challenging it) and reduce the chance of some IT person
saying "Oh, yes, it'll cost us $100 million to comply. Check,
please!" Also, let's remember that this may be an unwarranted
expansion of CALEA that may be illegal unless Congress ratifies it. --

Declan,
I just blogged about a story that might of interest to your readers
on my
new blog, Concurring Opinions, http://www.concurringopinions.com,
where I
blog about information privacy law issues.
The story involves the expansion of the CALEA to require universities,
libraries, and others to build in technologies to their
telecommunication
services that will facilitate law enforcement surveillance.
The cost is staggering, and I argue in my blog post that the cost
should not
be borne by the universities:
