Actually it is fine the way it is, if the public domain name were the same
as the AD domain, anyone accessing the public websites from the AD members
would not be able to use school.university.edu. From the AD members this
name must resolve to the IP of the domain controller that has file sharing
enabled for Group Policies to be properly applied.
By choosing this different name you bypassed having a name conflict.
As for the members of the parent domain, the only way they could use
university.edu to access the website, is to have the website on the domain
controller or add www to the domain name. If university.edu resolves to the
web server then those member clients will attempt to get the group policies
from the web server.
