Probably the fact that I have all of the people who are involved in student politics on my facebook. However, there is now a petition to get one of the biggest libraries at my old uni to be open throughout the Christmas break when:
1. Only a handful of students use it
2. There are other libraries in close proximity
3. It wouldn't make a lot of sense considering that most undergrads are actually home home
I made the point of suggesting that students just pick up the books they most likely will need and borrow them and then if they are in London over the holidays there are other libraries. Heck, you can get almost all books in the British Library if anything!
I'm probably being really cynical here (and probably being a scientist means that I've not had to rely on text books until I started my research) but some of the things that students demand for are either not practical or not well thought out. Last year there was a whole campaign to change the exam venue from the ExCeL centre to somewhere more central (which made sense). This one on the other hand has made me want to have a bit of a rant
Apologises for anyone offended by this, I'm just in a bad mood today ........
(and you can tell that I hate student politics!)
