Just in case, US universities occupy .XXX domains.
American universities are actively involved in the "land race" (landrush-registration period), which has now unfolded in the new .xxx zone. They occupy domains that match the names of educational institutions in order to protect them from compromising content. For example, the University of Washington registered the washu.xxx domain, and the University of Missouri (Mizzou) - the domain mizzou.xxx.
“We don’t want someone under our brand to go to a porn site. God only knows what he can see there, ” said Terry Robb, director of IT at the University of Missouri. In addition to the aforementioned slang name, Robb registered the domains missouri.xxx and missouritigers.xxx for $ 200 each.
The University of Missouri is far from the only educational institution that participates in the process. Even the Missouri Pharmaceutical College decided to take just in case the stlcop.xxx domain, although it is hard to imagine that someone from the strawberry distributors could claim it. This can not be said about the domain washu.xxx, which went to Washington University (abbreviated as Wash. U.). The fact is that an animated Japanese character, a girl named Washu Hakubi, for whom such a domain is quite suitable, enjoys specific popularity in a certain circle.
Obviously, the University of Washington's IT department is familiar with anime, so they took up washu.xxx, along with washingtonuniversity.xxx and wustl.xxx.

Like other organizations, educational institutions usually occupy a dozen domains in different zones, after which they redirect to their main site. However, sites in the .xxx zone will not redirect visitors.
Registration in the .xxx zone at the request of owners and trademark owners ended on October 28, and from November 7 to November 25 there is a landrush-period, that is, the stage of closed registration for organizations that do not own the rights to a certain trademark, but they are entitled priority domain acquisition. December 6, the remaining domains will go on sale.
