Admittedly the college might have better than average for the area equipment and techs, as that likely became a self fulfilling prophesy, because the college is likely tax sheltered and socialistically funded, and therefore may have a considerable P/L edge over whatever private competition there may have been or could otherwise be in the area... leading to possibly (or likely) eliminating private competition at whatever level(s) the college's capabilities are, leading to: "We put the job to bid and the only capable bidder was the college." With the private sector competition gone (or seriously crippled), then the college has the ability (and possibly the internally and/or externally mandated sociological impetus) to pick and choose who has and who hasn't access to public performance at whatever level the college offers services for.
