The resolution noted that expensive coursepacks can be a deterrent for students who may be interested in a course but can't afford the price tag that accompanies enrollment, and it urged the College to take measures that address the issue...
...billion orbiting laboratory that would perform cutting-edge biological research, manufacture new and highly marketable materials impossible to make in the gravity environment of Earth and generally pay for itself many times over. Close to two decades past deadline and now carrying a projected $100 billion price tag, it has not returned a lick of good science - nor is it likely to.
