Inside Higher Ed notes:

The Graduate Student Society at the University of British Columbia has recalled 7,000 copies of a new handbook for grad students, apparently because of an abundance of satire, The Globe and Mail reported. The handbook featured numerous references to cranes, praising the university for being “devoted to bringing you the most number of cranes per tuition dollar,” for example, in reference to all the building projects on campus.

It could be the students have a point: Physical expansionism at the expense of education is out of hand on many campuses.
