exactly. every single student and faculty member used to have web space. even if it was only 5mb.
it’s mind boggling to me that no university has something like cPanel for every department. let departments decide which software they want to support and use, and handle all the installation for individual professors/lecturers.
we used to do that with Moodle in the mid-2000s. moodle sucked, but it was ours to suck with.
