She cares more about University Resource Use than the average student.

Major: Chemistry (This Major's Salary over time)
The university wastes money on building pointless walls around the campus, re-carpeting and remodeling the president's house and office at least once a year, building a parking garage that commuters still have to pay to use, in addition to many other pointless expenditures. Money is NOT spent on the educational aspect of the school and students are often forced to rely on ancient equipment, less than adequate supplies, and computers that can be traced back to the 1980's. Budget cuts are now reducing the number of professors which is leading to even more overcrowding in many classes as well as inexperienced professors teaching subjects that they have no background in. The key to surviving at IUP is to find one or two of the great faculty members that are still here and stick with them - research, writing grant proposals, etc. You will learn more through outside research and activities than in the actual classes.
