...rent subsidies have done little to alleviate chronic housing shortages and overcrowding. In The Netherlands, disability plans have been abused by unemployed workers making false claims to receive higher benefits. Generous sick-leave payments in Sweden are blamed for a debilitating rise in worker absenteeism. One official West German pamphlet giving citizens a "simplified" version of their social rights, for example, runs to 300 pages...
...anything that might concern the parents or alumni. Appearing to condone or advocate gay lifestyles is one of those things.

But it seems that University Hall is content to overlook its prerogative; unfortunately, the bureaucracy probably won't bother to look it up in the rules...
