If you are someone who likes a good fight for a good cause, then as a college student you already know the employees of the Business office by name.

Since incompetence is common at most colleges, any student who gives a royal damn will have it out with them over something. It will most likely be financial aid handling which is usually very poor due to low iq people working there. But beyone that, there is ZERO accountability at colleges. You would be surprised at how many students have a less than desirable go at education because of their unpleasant dealings with staff members. And my several years in college, along with my big righteous mouth and willingness to bet it all have taught me a lot about the reality of bureaucracy at school. It works about the same way your friendly neighborhood utility company. If they fuck up a bill, or neglect to repair a blackout in a timely fashion, its A-okay. But try being late in paying your bill.

Anyway, the keyword is ACCOUNTABILITY. We need lots more of that one not only in college, but in many many places all around us.

There should be a new law that allows us to backslap a person in public for being an imbecile.

Can someone help me find it?

Overheard some co-workers talking about it all week but didn't have time to ask so I thought I would post it here to see if someone could help me out.

Really interesting. Most of the items in your list makes me "oh yeah" or "hahaha, we really usually do that." College is really where you have the most fun in lufe. You are free from too much responsibilities and too much work. You really get acquainted with yourself.
