If this is a student running the client on personally owned equipment merely to surf the web, a US university would be on shaky legal ground to block such use. They may try to say 'proxies / hiding IP' banned but are inviting a big privacy rights / FERPA / freespeech fight. If used to publish a hidden service, some places do ban running 'services', presumably for 'security' or bandwidth reasons, but they've no proof, just speculation on encrypted traffic. If this is a staff member or on university owned equipment, the university pretty much owns that space as usual.
