Actually, the current Athena accounts policy is that any MIT staff
member can have an Athena account, provided a faculty member (or lab
director, manager or director or equivalent for non-academic
organizations) signs a form requesting the account. What this means,
exactly, in terms of our licenses "for academic use" is not clear, but
that's the way the policy was changed last year.
And, of course, anyone who works for MIT in pretty much any capacity
can get a kerberos principle (basically, have an account name known in
the campus namespace) and/or get a TechMail account, even if they
don't want a full Athena account.
