Universities suffer this problem all the time. I know it, i'm now trying to
settle on a DIT for my University and have found that the generally accepted
solution is what you mentioned, having everyone under ou=People and trying
to link them with their roles, groups or whatever.

I found this:

The scope is a bit broader than that of a personal address book, but I hope
it helps you.
