You are free to distribute this on your own campus.  However, in public
this is a no-no.  Just look at the top of the price list where it says
"Confidential Price List."  If yours doesn't say this, then it is not
an official Apple price list; many campuses produce their own to spruce
things up a bit.

Also, I believe that the Higher Education agreement that the university
signs with Apple contains a clause that prohibits this as well, so
posting could possibly violate your agreement.  (Not that I think Apple
would sue you :-)
