Reply #6: Isn't that the truth! [View All]

The uni in my town - UNLV - decided to build a spiffy new sport facility a number of years ago, paid for with a student fee that increased every semester. It was supposed to be free use for students, but of course now they can't afford that and so charge another automatic fee regardless of whether or not the student uses the facility.

Then they decided to build a spiffy new student union; same deal.

They have built several multi-story car parks as well.

To be fair, they have also built several new classroom complexes over the last ten years - unfortunately, they still don't have enough space for what should be their primary function, instruction (and of course the moron who designed the rooms gave no thought to little things like: if you lower the projection screen, can you still use the whiteboard? Can students students on the right-hand side of the room see the screen/whiteboard that is tucked into an alcove in the left-front of the room? Does the automatic security lock on the door unlatch during class time, or does someone have to open it from the inside every time a student tries to enter? )



But they do have a nifty climbing wall.
