An entry from Huron University appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 8 May 2006.

In creating this article, I also consulted the defunct-Si Tanka University's also defunct-website using the Google's cache feature to gather more information about the formation of the Si Tanka period of Huron University. -- Bobak 19:33, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

• THey sold it for a buck?

Yes, back in the 80s, the school and city made an arrangement to save the school from closing in allowing the company to come in and manage the school for three years (likely to encourage them to see if there was any profit to be made in it) and then purchase it afterwards to keep it going. Purchase prices of a dollar are common as symbolic gestures when something is being handed over but there needs to be somekind of legal consideration. -- Bobak 17:33, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
