Yep, nothin' wrong with that, although you generally don't have to
worry about locking /dev/null, which is what that ":" after the "0"
means. You can leave it out, like:

:0
* ^Subject.*UNIVERSITY
/dev/null

Of course you'll want to be pretty careful with rules like this. If
you're not careful you might dump something of interest. Personally I
keep a separate file for Spam storage which I occasionally check and
clear. So my spam rule would be:

:0:
* ^Subject.*UNIVERSITY
Spam.spool
