Well any adventure dealing with the administration will probably turn the
PC's right off the game. ;) Too annoying and definitely frustrating!
You might want to try the following situations:

A) All classes have been cancelled without reason (Yahoo!!!) and without
any refund of student tuition. The student body pres. approaches the
runners to try and solve this mystery.

B) Rare critters have escape the bio-labs and are either infected with a
deadly virus or are deadly themselves. :) They are roming the campus and
must be recaptured alive (makes it trick to deal with! ;)

C) The building is taken over by the local gang and students are require
to pay extorted cred. Students are missing classes and teachers are taking
far too many sickdays.

D) Professors have gone missing (Yahoo!!!!) and school hires team to find
out why. Maybe related to the professors' backgrounds or courses or maybe
the son of a yak is having them fragged (this is the one I like).

E) Certain male athletes have been disappearing. Rumored that a rival
school has something to do with it. Runners find out the other schools
involvement is zip. They must figure out who is really behind the plot and
why (goes good with a wendigo principal).

F) Runners invited to Oktoberfest party. The party is going great when
univited guest(s) arrive and .... (use your imagination on this one but
don't forget Dragon's DON'T dance! :)

Well I hope these help somewhat. I really can't think of many more and I
have a comp sci assignment due REAL SOON (ie <2 hours)


THOR!

The university I was at was (and still my be) doing research into high
energy lasers.
A break in to steal info may have gone wrong, with fugitives hiding
somewhere on campus.

One of the students/researchers/staff may be selling info to rival groups
and
someone may wish to catch the people involved.

Terrorists may have made death threats to try to stop the research, a
protection
racket/political backstabbing/mafia/yakuza/........

Just wanted to thank everyone who replied to my post... Gives me enough ideas
to develop this into a long term campaign...

The primary scenario, so far:
Break into a heavily guarded lab site (we have a couple of those at UT)
and escape with a animal research subject and the scientist... Runners have
to contend with keeping their subjects alive and not harming innocents.
Neither particularly easy in my mind.

Thanks again.
