Dear SU, why do you hate us so much?

Southern, O Southern, How I love thee …
Imagine sitting in Stewart Hall, attempting to complete your in-class assignment given by your favorite journalism instructor.
You go to the search bar and type in the desired webpage that you would like to visit, only to have this message flash onto the screen: Safari can’t find the server.
Perplexed, you find another website to visit, thinking maybe the first one is just down for right now.
You press enter after filling in the search bar, only to find the same message appear again: Safari can’t find the server.
Two websites in a row, neither working properly? Plus, I know that these are real websites? Can’t be.
Imagine calling your professor over to your computer, now irritated because the Mac that was made available to you as a student of THE Southern University and A&M College is so old and outdated, that it could no longer load the websites that you needed to visit.
Being a proud student of the Mass Communication Department I have to ask, why is it that we have such outdated equipment? The Computers are over 10 years old.
As for the recording equipment, it barely works, that’s if you can get to it before it decides to grow legs and walk off.
Most of the computers, but not all, in Stewart Hall are outdated to the point where basic programs and processes take twice as long to load and update.
I thought my university was supposed to equip me with the tools that I needed to be successful? Because I damn sure won’t be able to compete with any of my counterparts in the media industry, coming from SU when I can’t even finish my assignment because of the technological roadblocks placed before me.
In no way, shape or form is this an effort to portray the University in a negative light. All I’m saying is, someone needs to fix this situation. I’m not sure if our Dean is even aware of the issue, but we need help and NOW.
It’s not fair that my tuition was paid in full and on time before the payment date, yet it clearly is not being put to its intended use. Dictionary.com defines tuition as the charge or fee for instruction. Meaning, I literally paid for my seat in my Convergent Media class to do just that. Sit.
Southern has funds secured to ensure that my needs are best met in a classroom setting, yet my assignment COULD NOT BE COMPLETED.
The $15 Mass Communication Lab fee that the university collects from every mass communication student, where does that go? It can be put towards a better use and I’m sure of it.
What do I do when I feel as though my school is not meeting the needs of myself and my peers? I write a commentary.
Now what are you going to do?
