    CMU must have enough money? (none / 0) (#1)
    by geek49203 on Fri Mar 07, 2008 at 08:30:51 PM EST
    CMU must not need good PR.

    Last summer, they treated over 1000 DALMAC bicycle riders so badly that the group found other accommodations.  

    Here you have 1000 people who are willing to pay to camp on CMU's lawn, whose average family income makes them all potential donors, who could carry the word back to the rest of the State that CMU is a great place.  With a little bit of sports drink (probably comp'd?), a few goodwill ambassadors (Circle K club?) and passible food and warm showers and it would've been a good experience.  

    What does CMU do?  They yell at campers who use the "wrong" restrooms, they lock the doors requiring people to walk 1/4 mile to the other side of the building, and they provide cold showers.  To a person, we were all offended by our treatment.  

    Normally I'd suggest that these problems are separate entities, but the common thread is that CMU acts like it really doesn't care what Michigan people think about CMU.  It might just be people who are tone-deaf in the PR department, but I suspect that the problems are deeper -- and go higher -- than just botched housing and an unhappy student.
