University IT departments don't want to be running some random Mastodon on the server anyway. It's got nothing to do with the universities day-to-day operations it's just an extra thing that would be required on top of what they already do.

Also the only university professors who would actually be able to run the server themselves will be those in the computer science domain. A biologist isn't going to know how to do it any more than any random member of the public.
