No idea. AIUI the sysadmin has complete control over that file.
I would:

  $ ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list*
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1023 Apr  3  2020 /etc/apt/sources.list
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 Apr  3  2020 /etc/apt/sources.list~

  /etc/apt/sources.list.d:
  total 0
  $ 

to see when it was last modified¹. Then I would:

  $ less /var/log/apt/history.log*

and see if the packages being installed around that time give you any
clue as to why it might have been changed (by the sysadmin). The clues
might be indirect, like, say, installing a package that lacked enough
functionality to do a particular task, which caused you to take some
action of other.

¹ If you've already edited it again, to rectify the problem, then
  it's the backup that might have the more useful datestamp. Or
  it might be any files you have in the subdirectory.

Cheers,
