Printing

The new printing system has generally been good for students with fewer printer breakdowns and increased environmentally friendly through the ability to print double-sided and on recycled paper.

Despite these improvements some students find that their quotas inadequate. Although a differential quota system, with increased quotas for subjects with higher printing need, seems like a good idea, we realise that once someone starts deciding who deserves a larger quota, it becomes an issue of which faculty can apply the most pressure to that deciding body, rather than reflecting the needs of students. This argument may even be used to justify a decrease in quotas for some students.

Instead we would push for a universal increase in printing quotas, if needed, or at the very least prevent any decreases. Secondly, we would push for quotas that reflect a students subject load. This way students that are overloading have access to 100 extra pages for each extra course undertaken.
