For education and modeling. Students used to run on campus radio stations as an example. A modern world requires understanding things like IXPs.
The original statement is a bit facetious. The so called data center building for $305M is really not such. It's about a landmark building to serve as a focal point to sell the university. Kinda like a church spire or something. Humans seem fascinated by such types of buildings. I think what's taught and what isn't is a better focus.

Boston University spent $305M on this and it doesn't have an IXP.
There are two well established distinct IX in the metro already - why would you need a third that is not at an interconnection site ?
Boston IX
Mass IX
