Is there a reason why the educational institution should have to
renumber into
unique IPv6 addressing, when the aforementioned ISP (where we came in)
could
surely just acquire some (additional) unique IPv6 addresses for its own
requirements?

Yes - was is the key word here, well with regards to IPv4. NAT has
worked
absolutely fine for the vast majority of outbound service
requirements for
a long time
For certain very low values of "absolutely fine". The damage to the
growth and development of new services however, and the negative
impact on
security and protocols, not so good. Think of all the time and
effort has
been wasted by engineers dealing with NAT issues. That effort isn't
free.
and a University does not need a /16
Who says?
Nothing wrong with Royal Hollowing College allocating an IPv4
address from
their 134.219.0.0/16 to a printer or some other "lowly" device; for
one
thing it makes it a lot easier when they merge with Bedford College
and
don't have to renumber anything. It's what unique addresses are
for.
