University Really Knows Best (At Least in this Instance)

B&N operates several university bookstores across the nation. A corporate entity, they want to exist on the campus without following any of the rules of the campus - as they have their own. This would be fine if we did not have evidence stating that their rules suck and their inadequacies pose a risk to our campuses. Case in point. Our campus uses PEAP authenticated secure wireless. I have every reasonable confidence in securely utilizing credit cards and check bank statements via my laptop in this environment. However, if I walk into the bookstore on campus, I am no longer assured of this level of security. How do I know if I have switched to an open, corporate wireless environment?! Do I really understand that this environment is a wide open one? So we battle the corporate offices to no avail. Only to then find out that the security of their transaction systems is made of duct tape and baling wire. B&N is implicated in the hugest corporate exposure of credit card information in the nation's history. I erroneously trusted them with my personal data. Why the hell would I trust them with the security of my network or the security of my campus community?
