Oh excuse me, we aren't a business we're an institution, they are students not customers, and the rules don't apply to us we have academic freedoms.
My two cents (adjusted for inflation, converted to Euros and thence yen, arbitraged, and all the rest): A government agency with a $800M budget is usually perceived as bloated, stagnant, and populated by uncaring civil servants. A business with an $800M budget is usually perceived as trying very hard to improve itself for the future. Which perception do your whiners want to give the outside world? (Feel free to adjust $800M to fit your site - that's the number here...)
