How much should a table that seats 23 cost?
More than you can afford but it was made in China, they could have found a fairly local carpenter to put something together for much less.How much should a table that seats 23 cost?

They probably want to raise property taxes to cover budget shortfalls as well. For the children.
Coupla things -- on the one hand it's disingenuous to call it "a table" in view of this from a sub-link in the article:
>> The table is oak with a cherry veneer and seats 23. It has a motorized, two-tiered glass turntable and an illuminated map of the world in the centerr, and it can connect up to 60 units for conferencing. It also has built-in gooseneck and wireless microphones, Bose conference speakers and a variety of other features. <<
-- including an entire A/V system and possibly buit-in computers and matching chairs from the looks of it:
-- which is still overkill, certainly for a university, but really doesn't fit the description, quote, "a table".
And on the other hand, from the same sublink:
>> The university didn’t put the project out to bid, and it picked a company in Shanghai to strengthen its ties with the Chinese government. Kean recently opened a branch campus in China. Kean officials claim they didn’t need to get other price quotes because the “acquisition of artifacts or other items of unique intrinsic, artistic or historic character” don’t require bidding. We don’t buy it. Neither does Cryan, who is asking the state Attorney General’s Office to review the waivers Kean used to buy the table without soliciting bids. <<
IOW apparently the university was not buying a table but a bribe.

Here's one for $2,610.00, but it only seats eight.

My God...these people need to be brought up in front of the entire country on national TV and explain this shit. Can you believe this?? $12,000 for a conference table when the NJ school system has major budgetary problems??

They can until people get sick of the rising tuition costs or if taxpayer dollars are involved, which is often the case, including government backed student loans.Pretty nice table. And a college can waste whatever it likes. Not like this was a public grade school or anything.

Who's singling them out and what perceived waste? There is no justification for the abomination.Singling out one school for perceived waste ignores the plethora of other schools to say nothing of the government wasting far more.
