Don't forget the worst problem with getting rid of the cord.  The
mouse is now not connected to anything.  I don't know what kind of
problems would be seen in a university setting, but I have seen
things "wander" around if they are not heavy or tied down.  One day
the optical mouse pad for our Sun was found across the production
floor under a Machintosh mouse.  Something to think about.
