I'd be surprised if it was different for non-US universities - I'd
expect this to be the case for every university with its own AS, and
probably most without. It's not specific to universities either; it
would be a rare ISP that doesn't retain netflow for traffic accounting
purposes. It's often somewhat aggregated, but to varying degrees - the
last such system I worked on was designed to retain indefinitely at
sub-minute granularity for training/crossvalidation of network anomaly
detection.

I'd be curious to know if anyone is running a relay that's not logged
at all within its own AS; it seems like it'd be out of the reach of
most operators, unless they have a friendly employer.
