On the eve of classes starting for the fall term, the University of Michigan has decided to cut the internet connection of all campuses.

The University of Michigan has more than 30,000 students and has a very large hospital with over 550 beds on its main hospital campus.

It will be interesting to see what prompted the securing of the network. Was this just focused at the hospital, students, or both? Only time will tell.

That's just straight up bad IT to do something like that.
