I cannot stop you from believing things that are false, but I can only assert that they are false.

  I worked as tech support at a major university in the US in the mid-90s in the College of Business Administration as an internship. The way it works is you get a budget. If you don't spend all of your budget, you get less budget next year. No department wants a lesser budget. This resulted in all professors, most who only use Word and Excel, to get $4000 brand new, top of the line Dells every year. I know, I had to set them up and deliver them. This probably isn't how it works everywhere, but it's certainly the case in some places. This was a large public/state school.

    It's not that extreme around here but if there is some money left over... You can be sure that it will be spent. It's not like management gets a bonus for not spending money.

  You can be more specific or provide some corrected numbers if something is false.
