Well, I wouldn't dislike the whole city based on the University, but I don't blame you for hating Laurentian. But most Universities are just as bad in their own ways... my hubby could tell you all kinds of stories about York when he was there. Universities aren't learning institutions anymore, they're money making enterprises, and the longer they're allowed to remain so, the worse off our education system will become. It's not just LU, sadly, it's everywhere. But this does go above and beyond. I can't believe the precedent they are setting with this case... what this could mean for students, it's frightening. It's like taking a step back into the dark ages, where education was solely the province of the rich...
