Print Quota at Clemson University
On Monday, April 19, 2010, at noon, “Inside Clemson” sent out an e-mail to Clemson University students, informing them that the Administrative Council had approved a Print Quota, to begin enforcement…
I spent my freshman year at a university where there was a print quota, and coming here I was really shocked that there wasn’t something like that in place. The ammount of paper that gets wasted everyday just at the cooper west printer is disgusting. Honestly, how much crap has any one of us printed out and just thrown away or left on the printer? I don’t stop to think about how much I’m printing because there is no reason for me to. I’m sure professors will try to ammend the situation in the english department by finding other ways for students to get the material they need. It was never a problem for me last year… I went over my print quota by like 5 pages and it was during finals week. Print quotas are a normal thing at almost every college…and in high school (remember the 10 cents a copy rule? You had to pay the librarian?) It’s a good thing.
