Why shouldn't we have one?

What a keen table!
Inside Higher Ed carries a story about a fuss that was kicked up over the revelation that Kean U in New Jersey is spending $219,000 for a conference table.  The question for UCLA, however, is somewhat different.  Since we are spending $150+ million for a Grand Hotel, aka conference center, why can't we have such a table?  After all, it would just be rounding error on the overall Grand Hotel budget.

You can find out more about this (grand) idea at https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2014/11/25/does-kean-u-need-219000-conference-table

Only a penny-pincher would want to table this suggestion!
