Richmond, rudeness and commercial enterprise

[Judy Perry]

That's not the half of it... I just heard a rumor that a state university
president used state-funded student assistants to do work on/for his
mother-in-law's house; mind you, this university president gets *free*
housing, *free* cars, and his wife is fairly well-paid as well.

Meanwhile, I'm lucky to have a single course to teach and so far we'll be
using the old 1.x 10-line limited demo until I can beg the department for
the paltry $500 to get a lab license...

:(

Sorry... universities -- especially state-funded ones -- are black holes
for kleptocrats.
