Also let us know if you're currently in process and facing road blocks.
One conversation with parties to an edu yielded that they had no real working process for evaluating and accepting tertiary projects. For example, the process did exist for faculty actively engaged in bonafide research pursuant to paper production, licensing, etc. And for students actively enrolled in a class which graded academic projects for which writing code or learning sysadmin might be their project. However if you were merely a student in the dorms, a janitor, office or IT worker, faculty, or anyone else simply wishing to run a node outside of the above business/academic progress, even if doing so would earn public recognition and carry little risk or cost... they had no particular process in place to execute on that, so it didn't happen. And without process, examples of existing tertiary (arbitrary) projects were denied as replication models for yours. EFF/TOR might be able to assist those in that situation by providing a page on forming a framework, and what that framework might look like.
