> Cornell holds things and uses things in trust for the State. Title to everything, down to the last pencil sharpener, reverts to the State if Cornell stops using it.

This is false. I have been working at CU for 20 years now, in four different departments, and with the responsibility of purchasing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of supplies and equipment. Grant money becomes CU money. They tell us what we may and may not purchase, from whom we must purchase it, and the material is their property. 

They can sell it, give it away, or trash it as they see fit. The decisions are often made by building supervisors who have often have no idea what the stuff is. In fact, the University appropriated, sold, gave away or threw away most of the contents of the Dyce Lab. I know this all firsthand, whereas your comments are speculative and groundless.
