Had coffee with a guy who works for a state university that has money problems. The fix it department had $50k left at the end of the year last year. Bought $50k worth of expensive pipe fittings and tossed them so their budget wouldn't be cut. Worse they were also ordering and tossing stuff for several other departments. No wonder college costs so much.
