Yes, where is this mysterious rain of cash showering on the US EDU sector? We'd like to collect some. 

Like David, I don't know why you would think the edu sector is awash in money, public sector in particular.

Really?

I have no problem with Observium charging, but I have to take issue with you there.  Where I work state funding per student has been cut to about a third of what it was 10 years ago.  During the most recent recession it's been particularly bad; when tax revenues are down, higher ed is the easiest place to cut.  A lot of folks have been let go, and none of us have seen a raise in five years.  I'm not sure where you get the idea that it rains cash in the EDU sector, but it's just not so.
