I know of one university in Scotland which is adding Flex to its curriculum, mainly due to our associations with them (taking on summer students).
So it is happening, but it will happen quicker with corporate backing rather than Adobe backing I feel. Gk.

Come to universities! At this pace we won't (generally) see RIA technologies in course offerings for 4 - 5 years at least. It would be awesome to see higher education quicken their pace and open the door to innovators like Adobe - but the fact is... that in its current state, higher education, is ill suited to embrace them. To be frank... I don't blame Adobe for not wanting to participate in the higher education debacle.

Come to universities! Yesterday, Microsoft was in my department to present silverlight&ajax technologies. Although silverlight is currently a bullshit compared to flex, and in my department (METU computer engineering) many people use linux; there were quite many people attending to the seminar. Tomorrow, I'll do give a seminar about AIR technology,which will be hosted by METU Computer Club. who am I? Just a 3rd year computer engineering(~=science) student. So i ask to adobe; microsoft comes to our lessons for their primitive technology, but adobe does nothing for flex the great? why? you do europe tour, it's great but you better do some more local event (no need to bring your developers, just use your local partners). just a suggestion to adobe guys, maybe because of feeling bad with microsoft's integration efforts... info : METU = middle east technical university / ankara/ turkey
