Olia Lialina has a great piece about the aesthetics of "Prof. Dr. Style": http://contemporary-home-computing.org/prof-dr-style/
Thanks for this link! Never knew someone gave this "style" a name. (And an apt one to boot)
Btw, the university pages you mention are still extremely common, at least in mathematics-related fields

When I'm searching for info on something, if I land on a page with no styling and no multimedia beyond hypertext and images, I know I've hit something good because it's almost certainly an academic's personal page!
That rawness, without too many attribute tags let alone CSS, is brutalist.
