I did not say that is true in all universities. But this is how universities solve the student support problem. If your university has not yet done so and has no plans to solve their student support problems, then you have a ripe territory for business. Students are some of the most promiscuous computer users.
Again the point remains with so many different computers, the number of problems and therefore the complexity of those problems increases significantly. This is one reason why many universities went with a standard computer.
What I posted is also stated by Steve's book:
