This year Cornell University seems to have also become very protective of its spaces. The Heterodox Academy Campus Community and a host of cosponsors are bringing in Daryl Davis to speak on October second. The first room I requested would not be available any time in the Fall semester. The second room would cost us approximately $2000. Yesterday, we were denied the third room we requested to use between 4:30 and 7:30 PM: "This request falls between two large academic courses. Based on the size of the estimated audience and the set-up and breakdown needs of such an event, we have denied the request, deeming it disruptive to our student's academic pursuits, which is always our top priority in making these difficult decisions."
What perfect insight!!!!

Replace "Daryl" by "Angela" and see how quickly you'll find a room.
