To my surprise though, google.com/education actually forwards you to http://www.google.com/univ/education. That’s not the surprise though, the surprise is that it searches http://education.umn.edu.

ASU has officially converted over to Google. This means quite a few things (which I’m jealous of — I wish my university had this.)
