Alexander Gall has summarized it pretty well - if we want to give out /48s freely, then the quite conservative RIR->LIR allocation policy currently in place *hurts*.
Very true if you mean that you cannot build a reasonable hierarchy.
As for the argument "are universities ISPs"? Yes, at least over here, a fair number of them are providing IP connectivity to the student's hostels via leased line/ethernet, and to all other students via ISDN/Modem dialup. So for all address management purposes, they are ISPs.
This is true in the Netherlands too. Yes, I think those should be treated as ISPs, probably getting a prefix (>> /48) from their NRN. rvdp
