Their nonprofit accounts are designed for "nonacademic" orgs. If there's an account type that's applicable to university research (not just students) then I'd be thrilled.

This is only for the teaching/student aspect of academia. There's the whole business side of academia which is still a non-profit, still doesn't have any money, but for which the academic stuff doesn't apply.

Very well-put.

Furthermore, Github's "Education" site doesn't actually say _what_ the acadmic pricing plans are like, just that you can "ask for a discount".

They gave us free private repos for our organization when we were an academic research team building robots. It doesn't hurt to try.
