They're doing this under the pre-text of monitoring all internet usage so that they can 'search traffic for terrorist communication'. At my university, students are required to browse through an authenticated proxy (which we have to sign in to using our university IDs), which logs our browsing history. This is done so that they can comply with the PTA's requirement that an ISP should be able to provide browsing history of all users for the last 45 days upon request. Never mind that it's trivial to get around that proxy, all it actually does is mess up most stuff like Windows updates, gaming, etc.
