It's simple. The university is in a position to enforce its arbitrary abuse of petty power; so it does. What are YOU going to do about it?
Yeah I thought so, now you fucking slackers make sure you send in your goddamn tuition checks on time and remember to read the pamphlet on binge drinking so that when we don't bother to do OUR job, there's nothing you can fucking do about that either.
This is a good thing because whatever you have to do to rise yourself up out of this shit is good. If you have to bring in solar panels, burn trash, slaughter a chicken, what-the-fuck-ever.
In 10 years your boss or your senator will be one of these people who absofuckinglutely will not be denied.
That is, everyone else is a stupid Walmart drone and yet I and every single one of my fellow slashdotters and slashdottesses are unique and special and bright and have insightful and deeply wonderous thoughts.
Mark Cuban is following the curve of all self annointed internet 'visionaries' which is to first get a really good idea out there, sell it to someone with lots of money and then move into media and television because it suddenly dawns on them that their brilliance is best transfered to mass media where the real money is.
I work for one of those massive outsourcing service providers based in Armonk NY and we in the service arm have not actually seen a new hire face who was not a summer intern since maybe 1998.
They tell me the median tenure of the overall workforce is now about 4 years, down from 9 in 1996 which leads me to think that turnover is actually quite high but then you have factor in the Geezer Effect as all the oldies retire out which just forces the average that much lower.
Why doesn't the RIfuckingAA just interrupt all their CD tracks with commercials for Coke and/or aginst piracy?

Kudos ladies, after 3 decades of nag nag nag, empower this and that...after year after year of emasculating your partners, criminalizing male behavior and metrosexualizing everything else. After a lifetime of being unpleasant, unhappy demanding self absorbed power crazed control freak Oprah gazers...after we gave in and up and over and out... and you're still fucking miserable?
Men don't care about you anymore. Men have quit. Men aren't interested in your paranoia, tears, and anger. You won, now go home and bang your heads against the wall. At least we have phones.
Pretty soon you will have to buy DVD players from the motion picture companies, and, lord willing each one will have a different standard and cost several hundred dollars each. Phase 2 will be that you have to buy your television set from motion picture companies as well and these too will all be different and incompatible from one another.
It will be a Federal crime, to hack either DVD players or TV's to do anything other than what you pay the motion picture companies to permit you to do. On/off switches will be made illegal.
One could say that projects don't generally fail for the following reasons:
Projects are so huge so interdisciplinary they have very poorly formed boundaries between the project and the overall business environment
Projects are so large that they don't have beginning and end dates, only phases with transitions between the phases.
We already know how to pay insurance claims. The projects that are coming on line now are related to automating, supporting or synthesizing actual business processes.

Lower churn? You mean ZERO churn.
