what evidence do i have, you ask?
consider:
*at the end of add/drop, 100 students were still not registered at all. that is almost exactly 1/12th of our total enrollment, and they were not penalized. the admin. just wrung their hands and sounded confused.
*the theme house application said, yes, in bold print, that no late applications will be accepted. i turn mine in 4 days late. not only do they say nothing about it, but they seem astonished when i start to mention it.
*their policy for all kinds of contraband, from pets to microwaves to kegs, is that they look the other way if they possibly can, as well as warning us in advance (walk on campus, not on the main road, because the town police go on the main road, and they'll arrest you; before going out of town, please remove all contraband items from your room.)
*our rcs are not the same as ras because they don't have authority to turn you in for anything.
*the most popular way to cheer oneself up, i am reliably informed, even above getting drunk, is ordering from j crew online.

Date: 1 Mar 2002 12:52 pm (UTC)but you can pretty much break any rule you want here; you just make an appointment with your class dean and tell them why you want to do whatever. (ie, parking passes for freshmen, who aren't allowed to have them, missing classes... presumably, adding/dropping, though i don't *know* of any instances of that one.)
