Letter in the Centerville College News
The administration has announced plans to acquire a new sculpture for campus. We should all oppose this plan.
The university’s financial pool financial condition led it to increase the price for campus housing and tuition by
15% this past year. Surely then it is in no financial position to purchase such an expensive sculpture. Moreover,
just look at the sculpture: several 60-foot long steel plates, jutting out of the earth at odd angles. It’s so large; it’ll
take up all the green space in front of the campus center! This is public space that should be reserved for
students to use.
Explain why the woman disagrees with the reasons expressed in the letter.
