After taking care of one university for more than 20 years, I can assure you that these professors are not dummies and know way more than credit has been given in this thread. And since education is their business, learning something new is not a factor in the equation. The second key word, and bottom line, is "budget". These folks are juggling allotted monies that are spent on the most pressing needs, most of which are never known to a piano technician. And these needs, some unforseen, change quite often during the year. When that piano is deemed the most pressing need, and the monies are still available at the end of the budget year, then you will possibly see something done. In the meantime submitting recommended work, and the costs to do such work, to the proper department head in writing, is the best course of professional action.
