realize that they cannot afford a hike in fees.

Regarding the bomb:
My understanding is that employees used to be pretty happy with their lot at the university. But I think some changes were made a couple of years ago to outsource certain services (maintenance, etc) and grow the outsourcing. The university would then save money on health insurance and other benefit costs. I bet this employee thought of this as his protest or revenge against his employer.

Nevermind the lower morale and costs thrown on to the local taxpayers as more people show up at the hospital doctors offices uninsured. Bad move, IMO.
