Like ApK mentioned, when the company locks down your personal phone is when you want to have two. Bloated enterprise apps that take control of your device.

And this particular school doesn't plan on paying for the service, it will be a condition of employment.

Right now my company gives me a stipend which after payroll taxes pays for about 60% of my cell phone costs. A requirement to receive my stipend is that I install a resource-sucking mess of an email/calendar client to integrate with our Exchange servers. That app also gives them the ability to monitor, lock down, and wipe my phone.
