As a former student at Indiana State and a former employee of their IT Staff..... they do not support student PC's period. The only support they have for students is network connectivity, and login ability to certain services: email, blackboard, etc.
I believe they are doing this for two reasons....
1. Rose Hulman, a MUCH smaller NON state funded school in the same city, started this four or five years ago. However, they have MUCH more of a need for this as most of their students are engineering students.
2. They started a wireless initiatve a few years back, being alumni I'm not 100% sure, but I'd bet it's under-used. This may be some sort of way for them to make use of their investment.
