When I was an academic, I did all my work in the cloud. I didn't use copy paper, or even really need to be in the office (it had slower networking, and less comfortable chairs). The university had a multi-billion dollar endowment and got billions from the state to run its educational mission. Why should I be raising 50% on top of my money (which was so high, NIH often wanted to give money to people at "cheaper" universities).
