Kean U Violated State Rules Buying Expensive Table

New Jersey's comptroller's office has issued a report finding that Kean University violated state rules when it purchased a $219,000 Chinese-made conference room table without competitive bidding or state approval, NorthJersey.com reported. In fact, the comptroller's office found that the university spent even more money -- $250,000 -- than had been previously reported. The university released a statement criticizing the report and saying that Kean had “acted legally and with transparency throughout the process.”
