Apparently bugged since 6.1
Can't find the item where the map show it should be and neither after the train chashes next to the boss as another comment said...

There appears to be a bug. I've completed the requirements but the quest giver is no longer at my inn, or anywhere in my garrison for that matter. The golden "?" is pointing me directly to the fountain in the middle of my garrison, but she isn't there, stealthed or otherwise.
This item can only be looted from the heroic version of the instance and all dungeon quests from the Tavern/Inn now require you to kill the last boss in each instance also.
If you are as geared as you can be and/or don't really want to run heroics, you can also complete the dungeon on normal and still get credit for the boss kill required. You then just extend the heroic lockout and run back in on heroic to collect the item.

Description
The academy is up and running, in a secret location of course. Maybe it doesn't exist at all? By the by, I appear to be running quite dry on sharp, pointy instruments of education. <Lonika winks at you several times before nudging you sharply in the ribs with her dagger.>
