Some people think that's problematic. They say that you shouldn't use students to replace local industries, because it's bad for local businesses. They might say that you shouldn't use unpaid students to do real work.

And there are problems with letting students have permission to run penetration tests - you have no idea if they're white hat or grey hat or black hat.

Cmon! All the High Education thing is about making Students work for their university for the time they're enroled, in exchange for knowledge, and insider's tips (yeah, i can introduce you to xxxx at ibm,...). I personnally don't know of a single PHD who didn't work (hard) for free for his director... Untill he got his phd. And even after that, sometimes, if he wants to get into research himself.

I find internal auditing, under strict surveillance to be a very good idea indeed. This could even lead to some healthy form of competition between universities, not only base on who teaches that Lisp class, or what professor/university's name is.
