IPv6 uptake amongst US universities isn't great - they have lots of v4 space, are busy with other things and have had their IT budgets squeezed quite a bit in the last couple of years. Of course that doesn't stop some of us from trying to convince them that they still need to do v6, we just don't have much traction. 

Incidentally, here I am on a regional network that has v6 transit from Internet2 and NLR, trying to reach cajones.org:

There's something not right between us, on the v6 side. I don't know whether your script was actually testing connectivity or just pulling AAAA records, but if a test was involved it might be giving false negative answers.
