Dear Greg, David, Hollydawn, Neil, Thanks for your responses.
I have created a ticket at https://github.com/swcarpentry/managing-research-software-projects/issues/41 with the original question as well as the relevant responses I've received so far. Please note that I've copied and pasted your emails as is as comments to the original issue. Please let me know if you'd rather me remove the text. Apologies if I've overstepped boundaries. Seems like the topic is of interest to a large part of our community. I'd really like to hear from others what their universities are suggesting/supporting. Please comment at https://github.com/swcarpentry/managing-research-software-projects/issues/41. The issue is at the repo for managing software projects but can be moved to a more suitable place. Thanks again for your useful and speedy responses.
