"In our department we manage some 300 desktops with two full-time and one part-time employee,” he said. “As a comparison, another department has about 500 Windows desktops and they employ 15 staff.

i hope more schools follow suit and macs will be at the forefront of the edu market, overall unis are concenred with costs, if macs can show the edu market that they are cheaper to run in the long term it will be a good thing.
