It seems you're about 6 months late.
ReplyDeleteI say pay up or disconnect. Why should we subsidize SU?
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else notice the multiple grammatical errors? I would have expected a letter from a University official to have been proofread.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering as to why they have never paid this fee before? I wouldn't be against the city waiving it for educational use, but clearly providing cable television to resident students is not merely educational. How long have we been subsidizing SU student's entertainment?
bust them up. They should pay like the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteDear Mr John Pick,
ReplyDeleteI too request this waiver concerning any fees for the comcast outlets I have. I too teach my children from the history channel,TLC, animal planet and such. UNLIKE SU...I dont make a billion dollars each year from the services I offer, nor government grants throught the backdoor. Fact is...I dont get a dime for my services, being a good role model and teaching my children not to rape and pillage your neighborhood. To respect their neighbors rather than promote drunken parties, loud music, knock down drag out brawls in the front yard, throw timbers threw your front window or car windshield...ect!
IN FACT, from here on out give this waver to ever home whose child has not been warned or cited by the SPD. After all...this is the year of "share the wealth" isnt it John?
3:52 I too was stunned by the grammatical errors. This does not represent SU very well.
ReplyDelete3:52 Annon... Re: errors... I sure did... no wonder our public educational institutions turn out morons!

Wow. Sounds like SU is at least 15 years in arrears. How is it that Comcast failed to bill and report these fees? Sounds like Comcast is on the hook for a lot of money. Time for them to pay up for their prices that keep increasing on the normal people!
ReplyDeleteThis request is as bad as the writer's grammar. Let's hope that he's not a "product" of SU!
ReplyDeleteMaybe he had himself a couple of adult beverages befor he wrote it.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that SU has many "fees", do they waiver them for anyone? I guess they feel special and deserve breaks they do not give anyone else!
ReplyDeleteIt appears that Joe and everybody posting doesn't understand the letter.
ReplyDeleteSalisbury University is not trying to avoid paying subscription fees. They are trying to avoid franchise fees; there is a huge difference. SU has one line coming in and it goes to 100's of outlets. They are distributing the cable service for a fee because they are "renting" the dorms to students. It has nothing to do with service fees.
S.U. is not reselling the cable service in the opinion of Comcast; if appears that Comcast requested the variance as well. This all boils down to the fact that S.U. is technically not reselling the cable service, they are not a "franchised" dealer, they just have many outlets off of one feed.
Before trying to discredit the University, you should first understand the letter, and more so, understand the significant positive impact on the city and county. Example: who do you think paid for a large percentage of the new ladder truck? Let me give you a hint- S.U.
And, while you are at it SU, have them waiver my high comcast bill as a homeowner. I work hard every day taking care of my family, home and other responsibilities your students don't quite have.
ReplyDeleteFor starters, I'm curious as to how SU paid for the new ladder truck?? Students do not pay city taxes. Most profs don't live in the city. In addition, the University is busy spending state money itself?!?! I just think it's ironic that the school is asking that a fee be waived to begin with. I went to SU many moons ago, at which time all students paid an "intramural fee," a "facilities fee," and so on and so on. I'm sure they'll just pass the comcast fee along to sutdents as well. Call it something creative like "educational broadcasting fee."
ReplyDeleteWhy didnt they just disconnect the cable when they didnt get paid?I watch alot of Discovery channels,like D-Science Channel and ID(true crime channel).Those are educational so I might just hit up Directv for a freebie......

ReplyDeleteNo Way!
PS - get a lackey who knows good grammar.
