The whole set-up is remarkably impermanent--the team could pack up and leave in about 20 minutes without leaving a trace...

"Costs, customers and competitors. This seminar on early Hebrew literature might look interesting, for example, but when we perform a cost-benefit analysis, we see that the amount of boredom actually increases as the course progresses, while your projected grade decreases. The course's consumer base is suspiciously small, so before...
