Probably because the need of moderation.

If you host an instance and let people in (even if it’s a limited circle, i.E. your students) you are responsible for moderation. I think that’s something institutions back off currently.

For an mail server that’s much easier.

Universities used to have students involved in publishing magazines as journalists, editors etc. This is the evolution. I'm sure a decent sized uni could find or create a student group who can be responsible for moderation under an official administrator.

Then don't let people post on the server people can repost if they want to comment
