That's the first time I've seen that requirement outside maths or physics departments. I've never gone that far - I'm usually content if I can get them to stop using WordArt and MS Comic Sans Serif ;-)I force my students to use LaTeX if they want me to read their papers. After some initial grumbling or even defiance, they admit one after the other that the use of LaTeX improves the way in which they write the papers and that the results get better.
