Therefore, the Yamaha was not used much and with a 
minimal budget I  was not able to maintain it to its optimum state.  
Actually, with our  budget which mainly supports an inadequate number of 
tunings per year,  even the Steinway doesn't get the attention it deserves. 

So it's a  double-edged sword.  Of course the piano needs voicing and  
regulation, and the adjunct is offering to pay for it (another fly in  
the ointment), but wants to use his tech.  I am confident that I  could 
produce the end result he is looking for, but I may not get that  
opportunity.

Let me just a few more comments, especially as they relate to the above. It  
might be a good idea if you approach the adjunct professor and thank him for  
paying the other tech to do what you have not been able to do, due to  budget 
and time restraints. At the same time, however, make sure that not  only the 
head of the department and the head of the piano area know that Yamaha  does 
not approve of the alcohol and water treatment, but that the adjunct  professor 
also knows this as well. Tell him, however, that you are  eager to see what 
kind of results the other tech can get from using this  procedure. That way, in 
case the other tech does do a good job, you will  have already thanked him for 
doing the work. But at the same time, you will have  warned all parties of 
the possible consequences. Make sure, also, that you do  not do anything to that 
piano for a year, and let's see what happens. 
 
Good luck
