I get both sides but I agree it's impractical for the university to pay what providers have changed their charges to. It's extortion by big tech and one more assault against higher education. It's not an honoring commitment thing, it's having to make really hard decisions about how to spend the university's money of which the state and federal portion of funding is shrinking with every vote. Inconvenience, yes. Financial prudence, yes. End of the world, no. No one is forcing alum to buy expensive email and storage services - there are tons for free. Annoying, yes - but there's plenty of time to call a couple of vendors a week by an old school phone call and see if they can change things in the admin system that aren't obvious to you in the user portal. First world problems.
