I'm interested to know which Universities have not implemented IPv6

I doubt there's a correlation between owning legacy IPv4 space and not
implementing IPv6.  The organisations I've dealt with who have no interest
in IPv6 also have very little IPv4 address space and use RFC1918
extensively internally.  The problem seems to be that networking is rarely
their core function - they are in some other industry and the amount of
expertise they have for networking is spread thin, which limits their
ability to embrace change.  Their engineers don't attend UKNOF, they aren't
in our sphere of influence, they barely realise IPv6 is a thing - to them
it's some research project that someone mentioned once.  Until their
customers demand it, they won't react.  They might as well engrave "If it
aint broke, don't fix it" on their computer room door.

it sucks for new entrants to the ISP industry.  Sorry.
