University Logic (oxymoron)

Here’s something that happens on a daily basis that shows the complete ineptitude and lack of planning by the university police force.

Every day, I park in the same lot, though I usually don’t park in the same row.  For some unexplainable reason, at 6 o’clock (I think every day) the police take there yellow barriers and completely block off the front row of the parking lot.

Now, obviously not everyone has left the parking lot at 6 o’clock, so someone invariably removes one of the barrier in order to drive home.  The barrier is never replaced, so one end of the row is left opened anyway.

So regardless of the [il]logic of putting the barriers up in the first place, they serve no purpose except to block people from leaving the parking lot.  Once the barrier is moved, people can come and go as the please anyway.

No doubt this is one of the new ’safety measures’ the university has taken from protecting us from the recent string of burglars, assaulters, credit stealers and alleged gunmen that have been plaguing the campus.  I feel safer already.
