Public College Apologizes For Blowing $17k On Fancy Electric Table

The University of New Hampshire (UNH) has issued an apology after spending $17,520 on a single table for a newly-renovated dining hall.

The chef’s table in Holloway Commons, custom-made at a workship in Chicago and then shipped out to the school, doesn’t just provide elevated support for food and other items. It also provides an illuminated top with no fewer than eight LED lights that change colors throughout the day. According to The New Hampshire, the fancy table was purchased as part of a master plan to “draw members of the UNH and Durham communities into the dining hall to experience what it has to offer.”

Once they came in and encountered the visual tour de force of the table, it was hoped that they would decide to purchase a university meal plan, which costs a mere $2000 a semester.
