What do other people think? Could we get an agreement to at least
remove the amenity=university tags from buildings etc within each
larger university site? How best to tag university sites/campuses is
perhaps a larger discussion, that it may take longer to reach a
consensus on.
What would be useful would be examples of what other non-campus
universities do. I'd hope that a drop-in replacement for the Cambridge
usage of the amenity=university tag would be possible (not just
buildings - see also e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/136330943 ),
leaving amenity=university for "actual" universities (or at least campuses).
PS: I'll invite David Earl to comment here, as he was behind the
Project Drake work that did a lot of the mapping of University
buildings.
For info - previous discussions include
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2015-May/thread.html#17455
. I can see the logic behind "let me change the University software
first" in
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2015-May/017457.html ,
but that was 4 years ago - it does seem reasonable to ask the question
again now.

for previous discussion (and a mention of how Durham, a similar
non-campus university, did things then).
