If the authorities contact your university for logs, be pleasant and helpful.
Tor's default log level doesn't provide much that's useful, so if they want copies of your logs, that's fine.
Be helpful and take the opportunity to explain to them about Tor and why it's useful to the world.

If there are too many complaints coming in, there are several approaches you can take to reduce them.
First, you should follow the tips in the [Tor relay documentation](https://community.torproject.org/relay), such
as picking a descriptive hostname or getting your own IP address.
If that doesn't work, you can scale back the advertised speed of your relay, by using the Max``Advertised``Bandwidth to attract less traffic from the Tor network.
Lastly, you can scale back your exit policy.

Some people have found that their university only tolerates their Tor relay if they're involved in a research project around anonymity.
So if you're interested, you might want to get that started early in the process -- see our [Research Portal](https://research.torproject.org/).
