As someone who works in development for a university, I am sure they don't. University endowments are all about good returns so no way.

"University endowments are all about good returns so no way."

You mean low volatility right? Because Bitcoin has had high returns and high Sharpe ratio (i.e. return compensated for volatility more than most investments), which is good, not bad.
