> I suggested the same to my uni comms team

These are clearly not the right people to talk to. But if they're in charge of the IT team, as they seem to be at @c43763ee's institution, that's a barrier to progress in a multitude of ways. In either case, I'd suggest building bridges with the IT folks, and collaborating on ways to treat the comms muppets as damage, and hack around them.

@41683fc7 might have some more detailed suggestions.
