I was just curious how other institutions that use Blackboard are
handling the recommendation by Blackboard not to apply the latest IE
patches.  Obviously with the package containing multiple patches
including critical security fixes it poses quite the dilemma.  On the
one hand patching could case major issues with a key academic system.
On the other hand not patching places systems at a risk of compromise.
Any philosophies or thoughts?
