Allow Campus Selection on Account Entry and Public Profile Edit blocks

CMS

When creating a new login/person (Account Entry block) or modifying your existing account (Public Profile Edit block) there is no ability to optionally choose (or edit) your campus along with all of the other information the blocks ask-for and expose. We would love to see these blocks enhanced to _optionally_ allow for this important piece of info to be acquired or edited.

While we realize that Campus is actually on a Family and not a Person and that this fact adds complexity to such a feature, it doesn't make it impossible. There would probably have to be some intelligence for situations where a person exists with a campus and is just creating a login for the first time (and gets matched) and now they choose a different campus... which one is kept, especially since it affects everyone in the family? etc. but those can all be hashed out, I think. Even if it only saved the chosen campus when a NEW record gets created instead of matching to an existing, that would be better than the current situation, which avoids the collection and editing of campus completely.
