Not a university as such yet (which indeed would make a lot of sense), but in the Netherlands they're running a pilot for an official Mastodon server for "research and education".
I guess it makes sense to start slow, as it's still not clear which implementation would be best suited in the long run. Eventually there might be a Fediverse service made specifically for academia.
There's absolutely a lot of potential here.
Nice, reminds of the EU Mastodon instance: https://social.network.europa.eu/@EU_Commission
