You bring up an excellent point- college professors, while some can
be quite fascist-like in their classrooms, are not particularly paid
well. Generally speaking, a person with a PHD will do better in the
open market than in a school.
What's more, they do not make policy. Odds are they receive no
benefit from the schools implementing such policies that step on the
rights and choices of the students.

Actually, as I'm gearing up to being one of those potentially
highly paid Professors in the next year or so, I can attest first-
hand to the fact that money from the forced sale of IBM Thinkpads
at my school does not in any way see the light of day in anyone in
my department's paycheck. I would look first to the Chancellor,
then the Provosts and Vice Provosts, then the Deans, and even
various lower-level administrators for excessive salaries due to
fascist computer policies. Since it's a publicly funded university
you can check it out yourself--the exact amount of everyone's
salaries is publicly available.
Meanwhile, there is *one* guy on the whole of campus that I can go
to if I have trouble with my Apple product, plus the only discount
I get is the one Apple itself provides me.

Hey, they get them by the truckload for almost nothing and then
force the
students to purchase them for full retail-I should say rent them
for the
small fee of $500 each semester! Just another way for our Colleges
to make
some extra cash, so their Professors won't have to teach more than
two hours
a day.
If you are a lowly Art Student, you then get an iBook for the
same price
and if you don't like it, transfer to another school.

I find it interesting how fascist our higher education system is
