I'm off to GMU as a freshman next year, and from what I've seen their IT
staff does not officially *wink* support Linux. But there's
documentation on how to use it with their systems[1].

The intro classes explicitly establish that they will have students
"gain some familiarity with Unix (Linux)", and have Linux labs.

The University has some FOSS projects, most notably Zotero[2], which it
has defended[3] against IP lawsuits. (and won)
