And let’s just allow this article to confirm the gross amount of demand for cable access.
So why do university officials drag their feet when it comes to any discussion of cable TV?
I think that it’s the fact that cable TV would not encourage study or anything else the administrators want—but at the same time, the university sponsors so many other non-academic activities, why not cable TV too?
I have a problem with the University controlling my life. I want to hold the remote.
If I want to catch SportsCenter before I go to bed, or get some comic relief from South Park as a half-hour study break, that should be my business.
My study habits are not the University’s concern. Perhaps I should be called when I miss a lecture from now on as well.
