And why did the install the cameras? Was because of the theft of books?
That's why department stores have them. And I expect that the average UA
student is much more likely to steal something than the average deparment
store client. My friend's daughter just had her purse stolen from the UA
library, and now she is chasing down bad checks.

Then don't use them for anything that isn't related to medicine. Do imagine
that they were put there for you to surf porno pages, download music files
or something the like?

That's the problem you have when you hang out with riffraff.

Az has one of the lowest tuition rates in the country. Morover, any AZ
highschool graduate with high grades can go there tuition-free. Seems like a
good deal to me. I suspect you weren't made aware of the program, however.

That's ok, they will just keep upping the enrollment of

As I said, the state will send you tuition-free if you qualify. And if you
didn't, probably you're just wasting the taxpayer's money anyway. Drop out,
avoid the surveillance, and do all of us a favor.

The basketball coach brings in money, as does the football coach. One
solution (which I would support) would be to put a fence around the football
and basketball aarenas (and that grassy knoll) and separate them from the
University. Then you'd have no complaint. All of the other sports, and
athletic diversity, would go down the drain. But, who cares about women's
volleyball anyway.

Are they only going to let in those qualified students? It would certainly
save a lot of money.Cut the size by 2/3rds and you could have free tuition
for all.  But what is your alternative? Jr. Cow college?
