Someone her on-campus who dealt with this said the following:
"So, the answer to this is the Apple Volume Purchase Program (VPP):
http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/
Right at this moment, I don't have time to lay out exactly how I'd
architect a setup to achieve their goals, but it is possible. The key is
that all Apple ID's used on university-owned devices should be run through
VPP - don't use personal Apple IDs."
Hope that helps.
Thanks.
