Sadly this is one of the most evil things about paypal and I don't know anyway around EXCEPT if you can create a 2nd and new account and use it till it expires. It is really easy to set up an account with a slightly different name but does the Univ have a card with a different #?
If paypal is totally crucial you can do what I did though I am not sure it would work for a Univ, but i might. I went to my bank and told them I wanted to open a 2nd account and put in $100. Since I am sure you are major account I imagine the schools bank would permit this, then you link THAT with Paypal account. Now if you can pull this off you must be VERY careful when you buy. Scummy Paypal makes you take TWO extra steps to use the credit card instead of taking it from that bank account. Make a mistake and you can overdraw the account (though in your case I am sure they would understand) Basically despite selling themselves as a way to safely use your CC on line Paypal does whatever possible to force you to use a bank account so they can keep they extra 3% or more.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
