Some universities "get it".

e.g. the University of Nicosia has an MSc in Digital Currencies and has just kicked off a free MOOC on the topic.  twitter.com/polemitis is behind it.

And twitter.com/gvrooyen is doing some really interesting work at Stellenbosch University in South Africa.  I met him and some of his students this weekend at Bitcoin 2014 - very smart.

Traditional unis with clearly defined silos seem to struggle to "get" it - perhaps because you need a combination of economics/computer science/crypto/finance to appreciate the achievement Bitcoin represents?
