There are a couple of documents on the Libraries, Computing and Technology website (http://lct.msu.edu/guidelines-policies/) that provide guidance on cloud services and the Google Apps for Education Edition at MSU. You may want to read:

The securing institutional data website is also a good resource: http://eis.msu.edu/sid/

Putting everything in the cloud sounds great. If you think that all expenses, responsibilities and risk are passed on to the provider.
Some departments have grants from foundations, corporations, federal and state government to do critical security and defense related research and contract work.
I don't think that all the risks and responsibilities to our customers and stakeholders are transferred to the cloud provider and MSU is still liable in the case of an unauthorized disclosure of information.
Unless those grantors will approve of storing of their sensitive data with a cloud based provider beforehand.
Makes you wonder how UM handled that?

Yes it is true, the people in blue are going to be Googling. The entire U of M tech restructuring plan can be found here: http://nextgen.umich.edu/projects/#umnet .
Should we not be thinking along these lines as well?

Looks like our "friends" down the road have decided to "Go Google". I have to admit that the idea of a unified messaging platform is appealing rather then the three I use here now.
