I believe that somebody should investigate this university at the administrative level. Not only are they in the business of buying off Federally issued student loans so that they may profit off of student debt (they paid off my Fed student loan WITHOUT CONSULTING ME FIRST and are now saying that I owe them the amount, something which I wouldn't have imagined is even legal to do) they apparently are now also in the hotel business. This new Hotel Maverick of theirs is a for-profit business which somehow is part of a state (and Federally) funded public university. Look at their website online: it literally says that they (Hotel Maverick) are part of CMU in every way. Go on Google and you can book a room there for around $200 a night.

How is operating a hotel a requirement for an institute of higher learning? What's next, a government subsidized shopping mall with high end retail outlets? Oh wait, they already have that too. Colorado Mesa State University is a major source of revenue for the Grand Valley, I get that. I also understand the desire to expand this institution and to gain some clout in the collegiate scene. But what lengths are they willing to go to achieve this? Engaging in unethical and maybe even illegal business practices? Perhaps CMU needs to build on it's philosophy department because something tells me these people need to reassess their value systems.
