Do you?  Relying 100% on anycast is MUCH worse than not deploying 
anycast at all.  Spend some time thinking about various failure modes.  
(*sigh* just read NANOG archives if you want the short cut)

There is more than one solution to every problem.  Don't fixate on 
anycast purely because your university hosts a couple of web pages on 
it.
