OK, these are maths courses?  That's news.  Well, if they're using Word for
such important data, they need hitting with the pointy sticks before they
get too far down that path and slide towards data loss.  I'm not sure
whether OpenOffice.org is good at converting the equations.  Has anyone
tried it?  All my lecturers used TeX, as far as I remember.

Anyway, in the worst case, maybe you can convince them to slowly move over
and write new material in a transparent format?  That's essential for almost
any copyleft to be used properly, I think.
