I too am at a University and we lost 15% of the budget last year and another 15% on top of last years cut so far this year. I have been told and just came out of a meeting that unless it is broken it ain't getting fixed. I will only get my AV purchased this year without a fight. Every other penny is going to be a major fight to get.
