So no one ever has candles or tapestries in their homes? I know if you went to my parent’s house you’d rack up thousands in fire fines, and as far as I know their house has yet to burn down and its been a good twenty years that way. The fire codes are truly ridiculous, the fines are absurd, the methods of inspection are highly questionable, and the squandering of resources is enough to make me sick. $40,000 = full tuition for an underprivileged student, a full upgrade for the info commons in Olin, or as Wesleyan administration would prefer, three minutes of flames that twelve people will watch (mostly administrators patting themselves on the back). I hate to be negative, but at every turn it seems clear that the Wesleyan administration (not referring to professors) is comprised of ignorant people. Would they really consider burning up $40,000? Let’s hope for the sake of Wesleyan’s future as a prestigious institution that Ezra Silk’s article (which was a fine piece of journalism) contained a big joke. Hopefully, the administration is laughing at this ridiculous idea. Hopefully, they will stop extorting money from their students. Hopefully, the fear machine will stop!
Extortion, ignorance at Wes
