RIT Department of Complaint Management

On 23 February 2008, RIT opened the Department of Complaint Management in an effort to process the high volume of student complaints circulating campus. To lead the department, RIT hired former DMV manager Gary Burton as the esteemed Head of Complaint Processing. He has agreed to address some of your submitted complaints in Reporter:

The Sentinel is ugly!

Matt Chester, third year Biochemistry major.

Burton The sentinel was the best statue we could afford with your tuition money, which went directly into the artist’s pocket. To be frank, we just can’t win. If we had raised tuition in order to buy a better statue, you guys would complain, too. There appears to be no way to use your tuition money (to buy giant statues) that makes you happy.

There are no girls here!

Ryan Mann, fourth year Information Technology major.

B We were hoping you wouldn’t notice. Every spring, on that one day when the sun comes out, RIT hires several hundred Hollywood extras to pose as female students in revealing outfits. This gives the illusion that girls do exist; they just hide throughout much of the year. Meanwhile, we are making attempts to even the actual ratio. We are planning to add some girlier majors, like Bioengineering and Pot Roast Cooking. You may have also noticed that the freshman class does have a lot of cute girls. This is due to our recent (and controversial) implementation of “Attractive Action.” It is a good first step, however none of them want to date you.

Housing pissed me off by (blah blah blah blah ...)

Jillian Cerrone, second year Business major.

B Housing was never intended to be a real campus organization. In 1921, RIT President Royal Farnum owed some favors to the mob and had to create a fake post from which they could operate. It all snowballed from there. Interestingly, Housing’s policies have not undergone many changes since they were drafted that year. Especially frustrating is the rule against foam “egg crate” mats, which are not only extremely comfortable but are also known to reduce the risk of cancer in users.

That guy just went up only one floor on the elevator!

Erika Uyterhoven, first year New Media major.

B I’ll start by saying that there is no doubt that he is worse than Hitler, but it has been theorized that the person who complains about the person who goes up one floor is actually a far bigger tool than the person who does it. I’m not implying anything about you here, just giving you something to think about.

Gracie’s is gross. Why does the freshman meal plan not let me eat anywhere else?

John Bosman, first year Mechanical Engineering major.

B Let’s be honest. You guys would just end up going to The Commons everyday. And the only good thing there is Quiznos. And you’ll get so sick of Quiznos. And then you’ll want to go back to Gracie’s, but you’ll be too embarrassed, because you made such a big deal out of how bad it was. So you’ll try and throw it out there as a joke, like, “Ha ha guys, let’s go to Gracie’s for old times’ sake! LOL!” and everyone will have a good laugh, but not actually want to go, so you’ll keep “jokingly” asking all the time, and everyone will get sick of you.

If you have a complaint, Gary Burton’s office is located in room A-140 of a giant chrome eggplant that was paid for by your tuition money. He is also teaching two sections of Whines of the World this quarter.
