University to Evict Man 13 Years After Graduation

The party's over for Alkis Gerd'son. The University of Victoria has won a court decision and plans on evicting him from student housing almost 13 years after he graduated. Gerd'son had been arguing that the university was trying to evict him because he is disabled; while the university maintained that his failure to enroll in credit courses since 1997 was the real reason.

This is just sad on two levels

One, that the courts took this long to get this far. Two, that the dude actually wants to stay in the dorms.

I've been in bad dorms and good dorms.

Dorms with full kitchens/baths that make cheaper apartments look like doll houses for a fraction of the price.

Then I've been in bare basic dorms that are just claustrophobic places to sleep, and the guy down the hall is trashed 24/7 and always too drunk to clean up his vomit.

Every school and dorm building have different standards. *shrug*

ugh

People need to grow some balls and call people dishonest scammers even if they're disabled. Why is it like every handicapped person magically is an angel? There are lying assholes out there like this guy just as much as any group. It's like saying all *insert race here* people are perfect (or bad). And he gets a second thumbs down from me in that he's using his disability as an excuse for all this. What a jackass!
