I'm not saying it's photoshoped, but the sign looks out of place and like an invitation to change its text.
Here is another camera angle. Source
Here is a LinkedIn post from at least 1 month prior with a photo of a similar sign. Source
Here is a LinkedIn post from at least 3 weeks prior that has been edited but contains the same phrase. Source. Because the post has been edited, it does not act as standalone evidence but it is supporting evidence.
The phrase seems to be an existing slogan for the campus, and there seems to be signage with that phrase and color of background of text. The photo in the original post seems to be plausible.
That is exactly the kind of bs a university would put on a sign
I went to school there. They had signs that read similar things back then. The university’s slogan is ‘what starts here changes the world’
