There are lot of reasons that anyone in the administration who praises us as a first-rate university should be mocked at length (or hey, if it's a Godwin toadie, let the rotten fruit fly). But really our library is a full-on disgrace. No school with such a small collection is in good shape. And the library's hours merit ridicule. I need a book, and just realized I won't be able to get it for over a day because right now the library closes at 5 on Saturday and doesn't open again until 6 on Sunday evening. And by "right now" I mean during the entire summer. It's a disgrace, and you'd think that student government would do something about it. But ...

You'd think Mountaineers would have at least minimal standards for their flagship university. And if you don't have a library (and having one that's closed is pretty much the same as not having one) you really don't have a university. Heck, you really don't even have a school.
