[Building Sakai] Timezone policy

[branden at uwindsor.ca]

I originally posted this in sakai-dev, moving here to hopefully get a 
wider audience:

> It seems that time zones for users abroad are typically handled by 
> stating that all due dates are in the school's local time zone. Have
> any institutions experienced issues with this type of policy in 
> contrast to the fact that Sakai allows users to configure and see 
> due dates in different time zones? 
> 
> Are there any obvious reasons why an institution *wouldn't* want to 
> completely disable time zone configuration for the user to adhere to
> this policy, other than they would be removing a convenience for the
> end-user who may be working internationally?
