A little over a week ago, it was revealed that 2 Cisco channel partners, Cisco gold certified partner Nexus IS and Cisco registered partner Venture Network Solutions, profited directly at taxpayer expense from San Jose State's controversial purchase of Cisco equipment:

San Jose State, Cisco high-tech deal ran into problem at outset
 

According to the Mercury News:

"One reason for San Jose State's bulk purchases was an incentive in the contract it signed in July 2012. Nexus offered the school a 61 percent discount on Cisco products it bought by the end of the calendar year; after that, the campus would get only 44 percent off.

"But with this many components coming in all at once, the team couldn't keep up..."
 

The Mercury News continued:

"Employees logged the serial numbers on the pallets but not on each of the boxes, San Jose State has acknowledged. So when boxes disappeared, they did not show up in the system as missing."
