A site is something at the same place, more or less. It is not something
the parts of which are located in 5 different places, that would be 5
sites. Spatial proximity is implied in a site relation. Universities with
different locations (typical situation in Europe at least), are operating
different "sites", not the same site which is distributed. That's not a
"site".
