I would be surprised. Java is the standard language in most universities and colleges, because it's what the industry (outside our little bubble) asks[1]. If anything, universities tend to favor Python as the alternative to Java, because of its rich ecosystem of scientific libraries (numpy, SciPy, Theano, etc.), easier explorative programming (through the REPL and IPython), etc. [1] There is/was some educational value in using Java as a teaching language, but there are far better choices now.
