It sounds like your account is part of a Business team or has been invited to one.

No, I can't because I can't log in without agreeing to make the university an admin. I believe that they have a business team or whatever, but my account was created over 8 years ago and is a paid plan. I don't understand how using an email address associated with them would suddenly restrict my access to storage that I pay for without giving them ability to see, modify, and delete everything.

I did the same, there was no other choice. Especially when you had to register to read a new book. Also recently read heart of darkness essay, used https://studydriver.com/heart-of-darkness-essay/ for this. The book is wonderful and I had to use the university email. With others, registration simply did not work.
