Surely you jest - you missed by two orders of magnitude. I just checked the budgetary figures for this department. "wc -l /etc/passwd" returns 2302. This fiscal year's support budget for this ~2000 user base is ~$234,000 for actual system costs (harware, software, phones/modems, etc) and about twice that (estimated) for staff support, mostly salaries. Call it $750,000 for round numbers. Now you want us to add 3.6% to that budget (~$27,500) just to get authorization. That's just this department. Multiply by 30 for the rest of the university: you're pushing hard for $1M. It won't even be considered.
