Univ of California dumps Gmail for faculty and staff due to security concerns

This article just hit the wires, but the comments sum up the issue. They just didn't get the best way to use and secure the information. I do not consider this a strike against cloud computing. Reading the article deeper showed that they felt it was against the compliance of the Electronic Communications Policy. I question whether the location of the mail content was the issue or that is was not on university controlled hardware.
Most of these cloud initiatives are not well planned or thought out in advance and often do not take into account the reaction of the community at large. It seems the university system jumped the gun slightly and are puling back the reigns.
