Does Google allow .edu TLDs to mirror/host Google Product Forums?
I came across a suspicious page. It doesn't look like the "Sign In" is being used to steal login information (yet) but the pages and functionality feels way too risky to click through.
Is it normal for .edu TLDs to host Google Product Forums? I thought their board software was exclusively in house. Is there somewhere to report this? Does not feel like a vulnerability disclosure level problem, but some of these URLs appear high in the PageRank.

It seems to simply be a WAM proxy used by the university in question. They probably didn't intend for into be indexable (perhaps not even accessible) by random people on the web, but I doubt a community college in Baltimore is running a phishing scheme.
Because they're a community college in Baltimore I thought it was fishy, maybe unbeknownst to them. I've known larger colleges and universities to keep records of things like mailing lists.
I'll assume its not phishing because the sign in doesn't work, but Google should really have a better handle on that pagerank.
