yes, and if they thought they could get it, students would demand beer
taps in their dorm rooms. last i knew uni's weren't democracies and it
was the mark of a responsible facutly and administration that would not
cave to unwise requests. if the students knew everything they wouldn't
be students, right?
students in my school protested against having to take courses outside
their major. what would an engineer need with an ethics class, right?
the administration nodded their heads and completely ignored their
requests year after year.
