TO THE EDITOR:
A. Bradley Ives’ letter to the editor, published Oct. 19, uses clever language to defend the indefensible privatization of Student Stores. He claims that an outside firm could make more money by “providing certain services ... centrally” (read: Outsourcing), but that displaced Student Stores employees would be shifted over to a new administrative division.
This creates a new layer in an already bloated administration, and it sticks students and taxpayers with the bill — all for the benefit of Follett’s bottom line. It’s a terrible deal, and UNC students ought not be fooled by Ives’ legalese.
