University of North Dakota crashed their Citation 550 research aircraft this past fall in Alaska after a dual flame out while doing an icing certification (on a Sikorsky S-92 I believe). They say they are going to replace it; it got a quite a bit of use so I imagine it will be replaced sooner rather than later.
They also have a Cheyenne II, but it will be hittin' the road as soon as they take delievery of their new Eclipse Jet.

Kansas State University has a King Air and a CitationJet, and with the recent additions to the athletic department, they are looking at replacing their CitationJet with a brand new CJ3. Students get as much as 20hrs total between the two aircraft by the time they graduate, and for only $75 an hour when on athletic trips, its a great deal.

The CJ3 is still a jet. Where do we draw the line? What if it was a Citation X? Or how about a Gulfstream? Or a 757? I understand that it's a training program, but there comes a point where you need to draw the line. Where does training end and professional flying begin? I'm not going to go so far as calling them wh*res, but come on! I would hope that the professionals that run the program see how this hurts the industry as a whole (in turn hurting the university's ability to generate aviation income).
Besides, if it doesn't require two crewmembers, why make them pay for the time? It's not loggable anyway.
