It would help any college community.
That's what bothers me about the stuff I'm hearing out of Lawrence. These folks have the gall to act like they wouldn't be doing the exact same thing if the opportunity arose.
Yes, it's about money. We've become so conditioned to believe 'profit=evil' that we ignore the actors. Additional profit here means a larger budget for the biggest college in the state. It means more money for educators and more programs for students. It means a lesser tax burden on the state's citizens.
There's absolutely nothing evil about chasing $$ here and "tradition" shouldn't even enter the discussion when looking at the benefits of that additional revenue.
