The crazy thing about these old password policies is most password systems cannot be brute forced anymore, because they employ a lockout policy which makes an automated brute force method impossible. Suggest to the IT guy at your university that he enable the lockout policy of your domain, and then just live with the inevitable few people who forget after typing it correctly for the last year.
