Funnily enough, at least I can require my PhD students to write in LaTeX
(usually via LyX initially but sometimes even emacs+org).  Initially,
some are quite unhappy and even more so when I say absolutely no to any
PowerPoint (they have to use beamer instead).

Later, however, they actually come and thank me for having made them use
LaTeX when they see what some of their colleagues have to go through in
preparing their final PhD thesis in Word... (with references, equations,
especially equations, etc.)
