I agree with this. Such restriction for port 22 does not bring any
security and cause only problems for students. And technically
orientated universities should have people who understand that
Internet != facebook && Internet != gmail && Internet != web_cloud.

I'm also for creating list universities with problematic policies, so
both students and mentors will see if they would have problems or not.
If universities with their restrictions does not want to allow their
students to participate in GSoC program then students should know it
before GSoC program starts...
