I don't know about students, but I would not find it appropriate as an instructor and I suspect some parents might object as well as some students.
Certainly carries the commercialization of academia to a new level, but probably not the final level ... tolls to get into university buildings?

Imagine that you're giving a lecture and at about the midpoint, a 30-60 second commercial (e.g., on Red Bull, condoms, tampons, sportswear, social media services, etc.) comes on. Would students accept this if the income it produces freezes the tuition (I hesitate to say reduce tactician because everyone knows that even if it could reduce the tuition, the college administration would use that money for other things [e.g., administrators' salaries]). It's clearly a win-win situation: the college makes extra money with minimum expenditure, students no longer get tuition hikes, and instructors get a break from lecturing in the middle of a class. I'm sure that some professors might ask what about their reaction to such a thing but, really, why would the administration starting caring about that now? ;-) -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
