According to grohol@novavax.UUCP (John Grohol):
>Without students and without professors, university is nothing more than
>another research center funded by the government. To imply otherwise shows
>a basic lack of understanding of why universities exist.
Perhaps I went a bit far in my original statement. Let me try again:
The student body is key to the nature of a university. Any given
individual student, however, is not.
A university's computer administration should be geared to the good of
the greater number of users, including the student body. Such greater
good will, of necessity, deny privileges and services to individual
students, so that their abuse (the potential for which is always
present) cannot adversely impact the use of the computing resources by
the other users.
