I find it interesting that the BOR would support a fee increase to be used almost solely on wireless expansion when the wired service on campus has been failing on an epic scale for the past three weeks. When I get to my room, I have to rub my rabbit’s foot and pray that I will have Internet, and I am usually disappointed. The only response I get when I raise this issue with the I.T. office is, “we’re working on it.” I understand that these systems are not perfect, and I expect certain problems to arise, but this is getting absurd. My Internet service is a joke. I find it hard to believe that the wireless service will somehow spectacularly enhance my on-campus experience when the current internet service is spotty at best. I sincerely hope that this increase will improve service on campus, but having dealt with the practiced incompetence of the current service provider, I’m not holding my breath.
