This is wrong. If the university is in the ISP business, they should get a /35 or a /29. > And in that case, they're not going to be providing any /48's to me. You keep trying to break RFC 2373 to solve problems that have been caused by people that have not done things right to begin with. It is ok for a university to get a /48 for staff/internal stuff. It is not ok to try to run an ISP with a /48. Period. Trying to subnet a /64 because your ISP is trying to run their business out of a /48 is not a realistic solution. Talk to your ISP and tell them to do things right and get a /35 or a /29.
