As an indirect result of the UA’s lobbying the past year, Information Systems & Computing (ISC) has reconsidered its position on mandatory phone service in college houses and will no longer be charging students for the ‘10-’11 academic year. This is real savings – the money is going nowhere but back to your own pocket. That means $30 off your student bill per semester (if you live on campus), and if you consider the 7,100 students and residents who were previously required to use the service, that’s a total savings of $426,000 off of required residential billing next year!

(Rumor has it that Lady GaGa and Beyonce created this song in celebration of this new policy change.)
