I'm just describing what Duke had, which I'm pretty familiar with because we faced these actual costs a couple of years ago and had to go renegotiate our whole deal with them. It is a bit better now -- I think Duke just dickered out an unlimited use license, period, so anybody on campus can install it on their machine(s), but for a while there that was true only for specific subpopulations (and I shudder to think what the current arrangement is likely costing the University).
Actually, the official line I got is "$150 for each new installation/user of Matlab" for faculty/staff only, and that includes all toolboxes Duke bought (I'm not sure how big a subset that is) except symbolic math.
And, joy of joys, the new license file no longer requires running FlexLM on every damn machine you want to run Matlab on.
