[Air-conditioner bought illegally]

Fatawa Question

I am in a university in Malaysia. The UNI I am at has a rule that if you buy an air-conditioner illegally (without permission from the school) and the school finds out-we shall have to pay a heavy fine. The school can provide you with an air-conditioner but every month we are told to pay $ 50 which is a lot.. So because of this, I bought an air-conditioner illegally. Now the thing is that I am being charged with an electricity bill for every month okay. The hostel department checks the rooms to see who has air-conditioners to check if it’s legal or illegal. So in order to save myself from being caught from paying a hefty fine-there is an employee in the hostel department who can make my air-conditioner legal and I have to pay a certain amount and the air-conditioner shall be legal-does this involve corruption in Islam ? What I am doing is wrong in Islam ? If it’s wrong what should I do ? Jazaka Allah.
