I once had a customer who for some reason had all their printers on public addresses they didn't own. Not advertising them outside, but internally whenever a user browsed to a external site that happened to be one of the addresses used, they would just receive a HP or Konica login page :)
I have seen quite a number of organisations using /24s that they have pirated from various places. Worst culprits seem to be small access providers who change upstream providers and are too lazy to renumber their corporated network away from the IPs that have been reclaimed. They stick in a NAT and then ignore the problem for a few years. One particular company insisted that their pirate IP block be routable within the shiny new core network causing endless headaches making sure it doesn't leak into their BGP. Another ISP is even using oops-I-thought-that-was-RFC1918-addresses in the vicinity of 172.50.x.x and pirate space from 6.7.8.x for their point to point links.
They didn't mind though. No idea if they've changed it since.

Dunno about cisco.
med.umich.edu seems to run their own stuff, separately from umich.edu, and quite badly. I've complained about their setup repeatedly over the past several years. No traction.
Is it something about Medical Schools?
When we were first putting together the campus network, Surgery was running a Token Ring (I thought "Vampire Tap" was a fitting item for their inventory) running in Class D space as I recall.
Should we try again, jointly? ;-)
Towards the end, there were people who insisted I must rout their net to the Internets.
I declined. -- Democracy: Three wolves and a sheep voting on the dinner menu. (A republic, using parliamentary law, protects the minority.)
