Mixture of all of it. On the one hand, university is changing a lot in Europe with less funding from governments and more and more fundraising from private companies. Then there's the point that some professors (or universities at all) really have to leave their ivory towers. Cutting their funding (or secretaries) works wonders in getting those people to move and care about things again. Then there's the point that one should really ask what needs to be printed and what not. My university life/education fits on a USB-drive and three file folders with notes I made. I know students who have a whole wall filled with folders. Did they really need to copy whole books and whatnot? I doubt it. At last there's some ecological considerations, too. But that's not really forced, it's more a "nice to have" for the image of the university...
