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)

It is MUCH more than symbolic when a purchase price is a mere buck. There ARE legalities involved. For a contract to be legal there must be an exchange, what is known as "consideration" between the partied. That one buck ensured the deal was a legal binding contract. The topic IS more in-depth and complicated but unti a full-fledges lawyer chimes in BusLaw101 will have to suffice. The lovable affable bulbous bouncy Obbop told yah' this.

Really? You just stated the obvious and managed to miss another point: Is $1 substantial consideration? No, as insufficient consideration is a cause of action. With that said, there is an understanding in contracts that the symbolic $1 can be used as a stand-in under certain contracts. --Bobak 16:41, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

– There are multiple Huron Universities, this one is defunct, so it would be better for the landing spot to go to a disambiguation page. This article should then move to the last name the university held before it closed, "Si Tanka University at Huron", which is also what the logo image says is the name of this university. -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 05:16, 26 January 2019 (UTC) --Relisting.

Comment – being "defunct" is not a valid reason for moving a page. We would need evidence that the proposed name is the one that is most commonly used in English-language sources. Even if it is moved, this may still remain the primary topic for the term "Huron University", so this question also needs to be determined. Bradv🍁 15:53, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
