That's how a lot of other major cities have schools/universities. Even when I studied abroad at RMIT, I had classes way up on the 16th floor. I just chalk it up as more NIMBYism being anti-skyscraper and wanting to keep some silly provincial feeling instead of being a world class city.

There are restrictions on how high you can build in certain parts of the city and people in multiple parts of the city have immense power, wealth and influence.
