I have a question to the president of PSU
I am finishing my Bachelor of Science at PSU, and I have found that the quality of the teachers has been very high. What have not been of high quality are the facilities. The science buildings are falling apart and classes are taught in rooms with unusable desks. For instance two upper-division biology classes, Immunology and Medical Bacteriology have been taught in the fifth avenue cinema since at least last year. Science classes must bring in an enormous amount of money from people on a premed track, there were five hundred students in two sections of organic chemistry last term, yet you spend money on a new rec-center. How do you justify this?
