A search of "psychic" plus "university" gave only one reference, the University of Virginia in this link:I have no doubt they are serious researchers. They don't make any assumptions, they simply study cases and invite you to submit your case if you are interested. Although no one single case is presented as a demonstration of paranormal phenomena, they keep being sufficiently open-minded to accept any submission, in certain categories (not all).
There are lots of bibliographical references, but I observe that they are always the same authors, a Dr. Stevenson and Dr.Brocher. They seem to be rather isolated, but this does not mean any qualification in any sense.
Helen, Kat, I really don't see anything offensive in what sceptics say (may be some humorous comment that could be out of topic, but nothing else). And please understand that none is arguing against religious or moral beleifs, our problem is just with pseudo science, not even with persons.
Un abrazo - Andrés (not a sceptic - a friendly enemy :)
