There should be some macro packages out there that fit particular universities' requirements. If you can't find one that's close to your needs, I think I can find the one I did at Notre Dame, but you may have to change things like chapter headings if you have stricter requirements than ND had. (I did have stricter requirements at Purdue, but I used LaTeX there). Be forewarned though, this macro package was written 25 years ago on troff running on 4BSD. No guarantees that it'll work out of the box with current troff on Plan 9. BLS
