I'm not sure ATT ever had any special feelings of goodwill to
universities in general.  It is more probable that the role of
UNIX in the university environment was largely a corporate
oversight encouraged by anti-trust considerations.

SCO (Xenix) is starting to show a friendlier attitude toward
universities.  I've both been told this by people who can set
policy in the company and have seen impressive evidence of it.
You might look at SCO where Xenix can sub for UNIX.
