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.
