I'm almost willing to bet that this translates to "we have the Microsoft educational package deal" and "I don't want to have to teach other secretaries how to do something." Neither of which is an excuse -- their job for the university is to find the best possible programs, and then to help users with them. But having done this work for a while, I know that's not a popular view -- most ITS (IT Support?) seem to think their job is to get by with the least possible effort.
You might suggest that this page http://www.download32.com/free-poster-layouts-software.html provides a number of free layout programs. Scribus also seems to be relatively widely mentioned http://www.scribus.net/
