Their PUEL license even has a grant specifically for educational use.

It does, but it's not 100% clear if administrative employees of universities count as educational. Sure, if you are teaching a class with it, go for it; but running a VM in it for the university accounting office is not as clear.

Education might not be the same as research in this license's terms. And there are even software vendors picking nits about writing a thesis being either research or education, depending on their mood and purse fill level...
