> An HVAC engineer working for a university is no different than an HVAC engineer working for a market driven company.
Mostly true, but not completely. The private company has to serve customers at least as well as the competition; the university's outfit has to do not too much worse than what they could get from an outside supplier.
Compare the university administrator to the HVAC company manager, and the difference widens. Compare the university president to the HVAC company owner, and it widens a lot further.
