University to Evict Man 13 Years After Graduation

Posted by samzenpus on from the until-the-wheels-come-off dept.

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.

    When I went to college, we had very nice single-occupancy apartments built into many of our dorms. They usually weren't anything special compared to "normal" apartments, but they were cheap and had a good location within the city.

    But then I realized the cable was blue, so I only gave it one star. I hate blue.

    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!
