I don't know what's causing this crash, but found a way to work around it. Right-click on University Base and select the option Set to EXPLORE. You now should be able to left-click on University Base without crashing and disable the Governor. Everything else seems to be normal.
(By the way, this isn't related to your crash, but are you aware that you can put units in bases on "hold" by pressing the H key when the unit is active? By doing so the units won't "wake up" every turn and wait for orders.)
