Humor - 10 reasons

Now that we're SACS accredited and getting students who will want to move on to a four year school...this is quite interesting! (It was on my Library list.)
Subject: HUMOR: Top Ten College Student Complaints

Top Ten No Sympathy Lines, from a professor at the University ofWisconsin-Green Bay:

I especially like his point that the student only pays for 40% of their education so the school owes the community more in terms of customer satisfaction - since the community pays 60%......if the community isn't satisfied with our "product" then we really have failed in customer service.

BTW:  on his site he also says:

====================

Note to Students:

The Internet is not a substitute for library research and I will not assist

searchers who try to use it that way. Sorry to sound unfriendly, but I am

seeing a lot of requests for information that can easily be found in

textbooks or libraries. When I get such a request, I will respond with

advice to visit your local public or university library, with a few

suggestions for where to begin searching. The vast majority of useful

information is in print, not on the Web, and between copyright issues and

the expense of creating and maintaining web sites, it will remain that way

for a long time to come.

Failure to plan ahead on your part does not create an emergency on my part."
