: Negligent Use of a Dangerous Mind

the lunch nazi

ADVERTISEMENTS
So one of my friends and I were sitting in the atrium at school from about 11-1 earlier today.  She remarked that, she brought lunch, but wasn't hungry.  So she decided to heat up her lunch at about 1:15 and take it to class with her.

As a much more considerate person that I could ever be, she asked her fellow students if eating her hot tasty lunch in class would be a problem.  Since she's not the person whose food smells like burnt hair whenever it's put in the microwave, they all agreed. 

The professor comes in, though, and tells her that she is not allowed to eat in class.  The reason?

It's against law school rules to eat in class.

Now, you would think that, after two years, one semester, and 13 weeks of law school, we would know if eating in class was against law school rules.  After my friend told me this, I went so far as to peruse the law school rules posted on the law school's website.  And wouldn't you know, there's absolutely NOTHING about the consumption of food in class being verboten.

I understand that it's the professor's prerogative whether to govern what is or is not allowed in his classroom.  I just have a really big problem with the professor not having the cajones to tell students not to do something in his class, and instead resorting to flat-out lying by saying that the law school rules prohibit something that they clearly do not address (or, if they do, then it's not posted in a place where students can easily access them).   

In any event, classes are over next week...and then we can eat wherever we darn well please.
