Can these people not find a better use of their money, christ?
Averaging $25 per person, not that much when you think about it.
25 cents is too much. Give that $25 to a homeless person or something. Whomever is paying this fine isn't missing a meal.
In the interview Tracz said the University is paying the fine. I wonder where they are getting that money. If its student fees I have a problem. If they were "sending a message" or whatever, fine Tracz or the band. If that were the case I don't see an issue with crowd funding the fine for him. I also wouldn't put it past the admin to drop his budget by 5k either. Also than, I wouldn't have a problem crowd funding a donation to the band.
Why would you have a problem if student fees were used? Also they can't unilaterally decide to reduce his budget $5000.
If we're operating under the premise that what he did was wrong with the show than he should have to pay for it, not the random student whose $.0003 of their tuition dollars pays for this fine. Student fees are to facilitate the academic process not pay for fines for someone doing something in appropriate, without the university's knowledge before hand.
And I'll defer to you and Dax on budget, but there was a lot of smoke about the AD pushing the band around on things for money and travel even on bowl trips.
