Good Job Emory
If you had to think of the best way to waste money, what would it be? Well, at Emory they decided it would be to start a shuttle running 5 nights a week that would take students off campus to area bars. This all sounds well and good, except that they managed to spend over $36,000 on this. Strike one for the student government.
Strike two came in their execution of the idea. First, they designed the bus route so that it stops in front of a sophomore only dorm, I guess not thinking any school officials would notice. Secondly, when the AJC ran an article about the new shuttle 4 of the 6 people mentioned in the article were under drinking age, and made that clear by saying they were sophomores or freshmen.
So, now, barely a week after the shuttle started it’s been shut down indefinitely by Emory. Even with only running a week $11,000 has been spent that will never return.
