From the interview:
"Initally we used in our computer lab Mandrake 8.1 and to my delusion many of the things i would and our student would expect where no there."
Does this justify another distribution? I think it would be much more constructive and efficient to provide packages on top of an existing and popular distribution instead of creating another distribution.
Something like what freshrpms.net does on top of Redhat.
If all CollegeLinux was about was packages, then you might have a point. I think the idea, though, is providing a distro with the malleability of Slackware but all the needed packages and tools already on board, which is a whole other matter entirely.
