However, in public this is a no-no. Just look at the top of the price list where it says "Confidential Price List." If yours doesn't say this, then it is not an official Apple price list; many campuses produce their own to spruce things up a bit. Also, I believe that the Higher Education agreement that the university signs with Apple contains a clause that prohibits this as well, so posting could possibly violate your agreement.
