You summed it up well.  I think the multiple domain idea is better.  
What if a school wants to get its own server or host?  If they do, you 
can easily transfer their domain to them.  Plus, I think it is way too 
hard to come up with separate usernames across schools.

I don't want to run the risk of advertising hosting, but with the low 
cost of hosting, it may be more economical to go through a hosting 
company.  Check out www.loncapa.org/hosting.html to look at the hosting 
companies and their costs.  Plus, you wouldn't even worry about taking 
care of a server.  All you would have to manage is training and 
outreach.  They you can use your own servers to grow at Ohio U.
