Why single out on just cloud services? Unless you sign a contract for the future you can't be future proof. Everyone knew that Microsoft would do this specially after Google's move, but university liked their juicy 10TB storage which they got for free. Honestly I don't have any sympathy for university expecting this for free when they could easily pay $5/student/month or some even more discounted price.
