For what it's worth, with regard to .edu's specifically, you can always report any security-related issues to REN-ISAC [0] via e-mail or telephone (anonymously, if you'd like). The "watch desk" is staffed 24 hours a day.

If the .edu is one of their 668 member institutions [1], they have designated security contacts at the .edu that they can directly get in touch with -- and, in many cases, can even wake somebody up at 3 a.m., if/when it's warranted!

Even if the .edu isn't a member, though, they'll almost certainly have an easier time getting in touch with someone with a clue that they can pass your report along to.
