In many cases these restrictions come about not for technical reasons, 
but for legal reasons. An institution I work with has a hard requirement 
for faculty to use only Microsoft Outlook on non-University-owned 
equipment (which means I don’t read email there very often.) The 
reasoning seems to ultimately be that, in the event something terrible 
happens, they’ll have just one entity to sue instead of (potentially) 
many. Faculty are on Office 365; students are on institutional gmail. 
Students don’t have this requirement (because almost all of their 
equipment is non-University-owned).

Obviously this sort of situation is, pretty much, out of the sysadmin 
staff’s hands.
