Oracle Sued For 'Extortion, Lies' By Montclair State University
angry tapir writes "Montclair State University is suing Oracle in connection with a troubled ERP (enterprise resource planning) project. Montclair's complaint, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, states that Oracle made an array of 'intentionally false statements' regarding the functionality of its base ERP system, the amount of customization that would be required, and the amount of 'time, resources, and personnel that the University would have to devote.' 'Ultimately, after missing a critical go-live deadline for the University's finance system, Oracle sought to extort millions of dollars from the University by advising the University that it would not complete the implementation of the ... project unless the University agreed to pay millions of dollars more than the fixed fee the University and Oracle had previously agreed to,' it adds."
I'm pretty sure you have a cost of living regardless of whether you go school or not.
Bullshit. My daughter has a full-tuition scholarship at a state school. It still costs about $11K/year. Why? Turns out she actually has to pay rent, buy food, pay utilities, etc. My son, who attends the same school, does not have the scholarship, so it costs him about $16K/year. I don't know where you got your numbers from, but they are far from reality.
