Fwiw, I personally would be excited about CEA spending much more on this at their current level of certainty if there were ways to mitigate optics, community health, and tail risk issues.
I see from Max below, though, that Open Phil is assuming a lot of this spending, so sorry for throwing a grenade at CEA if you’re not actually going to be behind a really ‘move the needle’ amount of campus spending.
Overall, CEA is planning to spend ~$1.5mil on uni group support in 2022 across ~75 campuses, which is a lot less than $1mil/​campus. :)

Indeed :-) I had understood from this post (https://​​forum.effectivealtruism.org/​​posts/​​FjDpyJNnzK8teSu4J/​​) that this was the destination, though, so the current rate of spending would be less relevant than having good heuristics before we get to that scale.
