University: Paying $17,570 for dining hall table was mistake

It probably was a two for one deal, the other is in the college Presidents residence.

Some admins family member sells stuff to the U at inflated prices....

And you wonder why college tuition is out of control and growing at 6% per year

The mistake wasn't the $17,570, it was being caught at it. Still, it is New Hampshire and the mistake isn't going to be addressed. They're keeping the table. So there.

That's happens when you have bread stacked up.

University of New Hampshire says,"You getting mad? We're getting rich!"

Was it a round table, coz nights at the round table sounds a bit old school cool.

Nice picture. Not. Another Yahoo News fail.

Fire every loon involved in this

"The university plans to keep the table."

I would hope so, after spending that much on it. They probably can't just return it.

$17,000 for a TABLE? Someone sure had more money than good sense.

Academia, it always thinks it's smarter than everyone else. Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach.

Today is National Shrimp Scampi day in case you don't have any fresh weasel available..

Maybe they should have tabled the motion to buy that table in the first place.

Of course they plan to keep it . Unless they sale it to another university who would be stupid enough pay that kind of money for it .

Now all the food service workers making minimum wage have a really nice place to stand while they sling mac and cheese on the students plates as they walk by.........

This is why all college education needs to be online

Headline Re-do!

UNH Parents: Paying $17,500 for tuition was a mistake.
