I'm sorry, I was mistaken. It is USA Today, not the Washington Times. I've been abroad for a while, I had the titles jumbled. I usually pick up the WaPo anyway.
My point still stands about funding and priorities.
As for downloads, I do emphasize, but if the University wanted to curb downloads, it wouldn't be hard to do so through rate limiting, port blocking and packet shaping. I favor doing that, if only to improve the speed of the entire network (which is painfully slow during the daytime hours)....
I'm a current GW student and I can't believe that the administration, constantly bitching about how strapped for cash they are despite the $40,000 a year tuition, have decided to even bother with this. Hell, the administration was going to cut the free newspaper (NYT, WaPO, WaTimes) program because of it's costs.
In summary, the administration is retarded. If I can, I'll have this taken off my tuition if I'm billed for it.
Besides, the GWU Newsgroup feed is far better than Kazaa and takes up less bandwith.:)

As a former intern of his, he's also an infinitely pleasant, hardworking and generous guy. I'd buy him a beer if he wasn't Mormon.
