That's a straight write off unfortunately.
If you were insured, then you would contact the police, get a crime reference number and if they were bothered (which they would not be unfortunately as this is just criminal damage and no-one has been hurt), they would contact the university security team and get the grainy CCTV then do nothing with it because the person was wearing a cap/sunglasses/gloves.
Jumping all the hoops above would get your insurance to start a claim. Then say the bike is not worth anything and the excess is £200.
Most of the parts are salvageable. Get another cheap frame on here or on eBay (should get one for less than £100) and spend 3h rebuilding it.
Sorry if that's not what you want to hear but that's what it is...
