What in the world? I just got this in my work email. Essentially asking staff to "adopt" textbooks at the U of AZ in order lower the price of textbooks for students who purchase them from the campus bookstore. Whaaa? How about do other things such as offer e-book versions, PDF versions, no hardbacks, don't set such a high profit margin. Don't ask your weakly paid employee to help a private business flourish (the bookstore is not part of the UA, they're privately held, of course...).

You did something bad once so you're always bad.
Suck it up. There are no second chances.

Pressure mounting on the Marine Corps to lower Infantry Officer Course metrics so that women can pass muster.
And then fight and die in ground combat. Or worse, get captured by ISIS type groups, and turned into a war bride. This will not end well.
