This means that journals can't prevent you from uploading a preprint though. A few publishers do this [1]. Even if the upload isn't enforced it means the restriction can't be either. But it's odd that the paper must be in the institute's repository and not one of a larger list of preprint servers. I would assume the authors would much rather put a paper on arXiv than on their shoddy university repository.
