We get requests for all kinds of attributes, some reasonable some make you
scratch your head. Many want things like dept id or or org id or
enrollment in a particular class / major or "chart field" (for billing
purposes). We have one app that needs to know whether or not a student
lives in campus housing.

Then there is the request by one dept to have a student's complete
historical record of majors / enrollments available via LDAPŠ.
