Ihigh-speed Internet access. Apparently, the admin­ istration has come to the incorrect conclusion that such service is a luxury and not a necessity. Though it makes sense for ITS to hire contractors to administer ResNet and provide the stability and func­ tionality that has been lacking, it is unwise to ask students to pay for that. How can anyone argue that students who were just informed this week that they'll be paying $33,744 to attend.the college next year should hand over an additional $300 to cover the cost of some­ thing that at most schools is simply another perk of lay­ ing out the big bucks in tuition every year? Currently, there is a proposal to provide a free 56K connection to all college residents, but that speed is not adequate for certain class requirements. But it may be a done deal. The administration and ITS may already have decided to begin charging stu­ dents. If that is the case, then a mistake has been made, but steps can be taken· to mitigate that mistake. ITS must find a contractor that can provide near­ ly flawless service at low cost because once students begin paying for Internet access, they are going to have even less patience with network failures.
