It would be great if someone would start systematically finding out if 
universities restrict their students' access to their own work and 
documenting the results on e.g. wiki.freeculture.org so others can 
contribute to the search.

I think I've before wondered about having an archive of schools with 
particularly freedom-effacing IT policies.  Both would surely be useful!
