Hi, In order to run the latest Oracle products, one needs one huge computer. If you cannot count the users, you have to buy per-processor licenses. These are expensive.
Using php to work towards Oracle might make both sides happy and can be done cheeper and with more control in terms of javascript usage etc.
You might try vendor lockin as an argument.
As far as i know The oracle apps are still written in pl/sql with the oracle specific pl/sql packages that
allow for web application generation. Java is used to get arround this.
There are ways to use java for web applications which also do not require the use of the expensive Oracle application server.
The only advantage offered by the oracle products over the other two sollutions IMHO is that for the very large scale organization, Oracle will scale easyer.
A univercity does not sound like a global company to me, and therefore, might really be better of using other technology.
Regards, Willem

I am afraid US laws don't count here in Austria (or am I reliefed?). And it is definitely not a technical argument either.
