I would generally just use a multipolygon relation for this. Any
contiguous portions of university campus are mapped as closed ways with
role "outer." Any isolated university buildings are also added to the
relation with role "outer". All the top-level university tags, including
amenity=university, go on the relation. (But it can get tricky if some
university office or department occupies an undefined portion of a
particular building that is otherwise not controlled by the university
-- I tend to just use nodes tagged with name/operator/website and leave
these out of the relation, which is not ideal.)
