Many computer science departments, university libraries, and individual students and faculty run relays from university networks. These universities include the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT CSAIL), Boston University, the University of Waterloo, the University of Washington, Northeastern University, Karlstad University, Universitaet Stuttgart, and Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg. To learn more about how to get support for a relay on your university’s network, check out EFF’s resources.
This is a public lists with archives to build a community of Tor relay ops at universities, colleges, and other education institutions that can help each other to solve issues and help prospective ops at other institutions to get started.
